"Thomas Fox of Concord and his descendants" by William Freeman Fox (Lyon Company - 1909), pages 19-22
Samuel^2 Fox, son of Thomas^1 of Concord, was born in Concord, Mass., in 1651. He settled in New London, Conn., about 1675. He married there, March 30, 1676, Mary Lester, daughter of Andrew Lester. She was born in Gloucester, Mass., December 26, 1647. After this he contracted a second, third and fourth marriage. His second wife, Joanna, died in the epidemic of 1689. His third wife, whom he married in 1690, was Bathsheba — or Bathshua — Rogers, widow of Richard Smith. She died November 3, 1711. Bathsheba was born in Milford in 1650, and was the daughter of James Rogers, "the wealthiest man in the colony of New London after Governor Winthrop." Samuel's fourth wife, who survived him, was named Esther, and is mentioned in his will. She was probably the "Hester" Allen who was married to "Samuel Fox of New London," August 9, 1715.
Samuel's name was added to the roll of the "First Church of Christ in New London," November 20, 1681. The Patent of New London, issued in 1704, also contains his name. He was an extensive landholder, some of his land being situated at Great Neck, in the vicinity of New London. He also owned 500 acres in the North Parish, now Montville, upon which he erected a sawmill and a gristmill.
He died September 4, 1727, aged seventy-six years. His will, dated April 6, 1727, and admitted to probate September 6th following, names his wife, Esther Fox; and his son, Samuel, spoken of as his eldest son and called "Samuel Fox the elder;" and another son, whom he calls "Samuel Fox the younger;" also his sons, Isaac and Benjamin; and his daughters, Elizabeth and Anna. This will also mentions his sons-in-law, James Smith and John Smith; the children of his "daughter-in-law (stepdaughter), Bathshua Rogers, deceased;" the children of his daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Camp, deceased; and his granddaughter, Elizabeth Platt.
He gives to his son, Samuel the elder, his lands in the North Parish, with the mills known as the Fox mills, and all his wearing apparel. He gives to his son, Samuel the younger, all his farming tools, and all his lands in Newbern, with Great Neck, subject to certain legacies which are to be paid to other children. He gives to his wife, Esther, a living out of the whole, and appoints as executors his son, Samuel, and "his friend," Timothy Green.
Samuel^2 Fox, son of Thomas of Concord, had children: Abigail, Elizabeth, Anna, Samuel, Isaac, Benjamin and Samuel. Of these, Abigail, Elizabeth, Anna, and Samuel "the elder," were the children of Mary Lester, his first wife; Isaac and Benjamin were the children of Joanna, his second wife; and Samuel "the younger" was the son of Bathshua, his third wife.
It was not unusual in that day to give the same name to two children by a different mother; and the repetition is not always an indication that the first named had died before the birth of the other.
Samuel and Bathsheba, after their marriage, became Seventh Day Baptists. Samuel was arraigned once for catching eels on Sunday, whereupon he said that he made no difference in days; and Bathsheba went "openly" to the meeting-house to proclaim that she had been doing servile work on their Sabbath. She was accompanied at this time by her brother, John Rogers, who interrupted the minister by proclaiming that he had committed a similar offense. This John Rogers became the founder of the sect of Rogerenes. Samuel and Bathsheba seemed to have courted persecution and to have taken no pains to avoid the martyrdom which fell to their lot. Bathsheba's brother, James, was sentenced by the court to receive fifteen lashes and to pay a fine of 5 pounds for "rebaptizing" people.
The troubles and differences which Samuel^2 Fox had with his neighbors appear to have resulted from his marriage with Bathsheba. Her father, James Rogers, and his children also, as early as 1676, attracted attention by their declared opposition to infant baptism, and Samuel evidently was a convert to their views.]
[There is a difference between the bio and other for what his 1st wife's maiden name is. The bio seems more convincing. Also I think the marriage date for Joanna is wrong.
