• Notes

  Samuel Cahoon was the eldest child of his parents. His father was killed in 1675 by Native Americans when Samuel was 12. He was apprenticed to a shoemaker and was able to help support his family until his mother remarried in 1681. He marriy Hunter, who was 16 years younger than him in 1698. They left the New England area and settled in Nansemond County, Virginia where they had at least 6 children. Their youngest child was born after Samuel's death. He paid quit rent in Virginia in the 1704 Quit Rent Lists before his death in that year.
