Notes:

Samuel is listed as the 4th son in his father's will. He and his other siblings were given 10 pounds each in the will. Samuel appeared to be the only son not living in Whitchurch, England at the writing of his father's will in 1656. (F-433) This information comes from a book out on this Samuel that could be useful to obtain, "The Hotchkiss Family, First Six Generations: Descendants of Samuel Hotchkiss (ca. 1622-1663) of New Haven, Connecticut" by Nellie Cowdell. (F-433) He was one of the original founders of New Haven, Connecticut in 1638. According to Virkus, he came over with the Davenport Colony that came on the "Hector" in June 1637. (F-62, 447) Some less respected sources give his arrival date at 1642 or 1643 instead. (F-68)

Samuel and Elizabeth sounded like they were a couple very much attracted to each other and paid a severe price for it at the time. "For their filthy dalliance together, which was confessed by them both, they were both severely whipped." Then later when they came to ask for permission to get married "having entered into contract, sinfully and wickedly defiled each other with filthy dalliance and unclean passages, by which they have both made themselves unfit for any other, and for which they have both received public correction, upon these considerations, granted them liberty to marry." This occurred in 1642. Samuel was apparently accused of theft, and for sleeping on his watch for which he was also beaten. (http://members.aol.com/alicebeard/corncili.html)

In 1652, he purchased a home and lot from John Thompson. In 1655, he was assigned a seat in the meeting house next to the soldier's seats and his wife was given one on the women's side. In June 1664 he attended the General Court in New Haven. On Aug. 4, 1664 he took the oath of fidelity. Upon his death, his estate was valued at 86 pounds, 18 shillings. He was listed as Samuel, Sr. (F-447)

He came to New Haven, CT in 1638. He signed the New Haven Compact in 1639. (F-62) He was an early but not original signer of the Fundamental Agreement of New Haven. His signature was simply an "H". He and Joseph Peck, a possible brother, took the oath of fidelity on July 1, 1644. On Oct. 7, 1646, he and Joseph asked permission to cut wood on the commons. On Aug. 1, 1648, both were reprimanded for arriving with arms at the meeting house. They were excused in this case, since they had had night watch and had had no sleep. Another possible brother to this Henry Peck, was Deacon William Peck, also in New Haven of the same peerage. (F-64, 2297E)
