d. 3 Dec. 1821,
ae. 85 yrs.
An officer in the Revolutionary War.
Samuel Thrall (son of John Thrall and Mary Roberts)26 was born July 11, 1737 in Winsor, Conneticut, and died December 03, 1821 in West Rutland, Vermont. He married Lucy Winchell, daughter of Martin Winchell and Lucy.
Samuel Thrall was the fourth child, third son of John and Mary. As the Winchell family were near neighbors and good friends of the Thrall family, Samuel and his older sister both married Winchells.
Samuel was a good student, and he was given jobs that required a knowledge of bookkeeping and record keeping, and as he moved from Windsor to Granville, Mass. and then to Rutland, Vermont, he told his children about their forebears.
He moved to Granville, Massachusetts and reared his family there. The country was hilly but he had a farm in Granville, and moved from there to Vermont in 1790.
Samuel Thrall served in the Colonial Army and held a commission in the English troops in the French War of 1762. When the Revolution came, he was thirty-nine years old and he enlisted in the Colonial Army. He was a Supply Officer in the Massachusetts Militia at Ticonderoga and several other campaigns. In the last year of the Revolution, he was Captain of a Company of Militia that marched into the Mohawk Valley to stop an English or Indian attack. His son, Jesse, served the same Company.
After the war, Samuel returned to Granville, Mass. and in 1788-89 was a member of the General Court at Boston. He had sympathized with the leaders of Shays' Rebellion, however, on the the currency situation, and as a result suffered much criticism, and his property was threatened. In 1790 at the age of 53, he moved to Vermont with most of his children and most of his worldly goods.
For thirty years, he was a much revered citizen of Rutland. His property was in what is now West Rutland, and marble quarries are near the old Thrall homestead. Samuel is buried in the old West Rutland Cemetery and a marble marker tells of his Revolutionary activities. His wife, Lucy, and son Chauncey Thrall, Esq. are buried nearby. Samuel was five feet nine inches tall and weighed a little over 160 pounds. He remained in sound health until shortly before he died at the age of 84.
Samuel was a member of the Congregational Church of West Rutland.
