General Notes: Husband - Samuel Belknap

---

The following is from A Belknap Genealogy (E. Clinton Belknap, 1974), pages 77-79. See that work for more details. It can be seen at

https://dcms.lds.org/view/action/ieViewer.do?dps_pid=IE107289&dps_dvs=1364493314345~403&dps_pid=IE107289&change_lng=en

It is probable that Samuel Belknap was born June 13, 1731 at Enfield, Connecticut. He was baptized a month later on July 14, 1731 at Somers Church (Somers, Conn.), which might indicate that the parents recently moved to Enfield from Somers and went back to where their church ties were for their son's baptism.

"So far as I have been able to determine, Samuel was a farmer and resided at various locations in Massachusetts and Connecticut during his life time. Henry Wycoff Belknap listed Windsor (Ellington) and Enfield in Connecticut together with Mansfield and Belchertown in Massachusetts. Samuel's military record shows that he enlisted in the Massachusetts Militia at Granby, Mass., 3 May 1775, and was then living in Belchertown, Mass. The Belchertown, Mass. Congregational Church records (see Hon. Mark Doolittle's Historical Sketch, #94 and #95) show that the couple joined the church in 1761.

"There seems to be general agreement on the date of death for Samuel as 18 June 1775, the day following the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the place as the Military Camp at Cambridge, Massachusetts. Heat prostration is being accepted as the cause of death."
