• Death: 1658/1659, of, Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut

Notes:

Susannah/Mary was previously married to William Whiting-they lived in Hartford, CT and had several children before his death. Susannah and Samuel married in Hartford where Samuel taught school 1650-1653. "Parents were required to provide 'either a little load of wood or three shillings toward procuring it". He was also a representative to the General Court in 1654 and 1655.
After Samuel's death after only nine years of marriage, Susannah married again, to Alexander Bryan and lived in Milford, CT. She died at the home of a daughter.

There was a Samuel Fitch who was in Milford, CT in 1644, but he supposidly moved to Norwalk, CT. The Samuel, son of Thomas of Bocking, was born in 1626- far too young to be married to Susanna.

I Joseph Mygatt of Hartford do make this my last Will & Testament : Whereas, in a Writing bearing date 27 November, 1654, I have already engaged the manner of a dispose of my Estate after my Death, I do now for the substance thereof fully consent thereunto, only some things mentioned needing some explication I thought good to mention, 1st, that I have already paid the marriage portion for my son Jacob as is expressed in the Agreement, & have built a house for him of more value than was promised, & have truly fulfilled that first particularly.

2nd, Whereas it is mentioned in the Agreement with Mrs. Susannah Fitch, & the Trustees

in behalf of her Brother,

that the Estate by her should be let out to procure a farm, that it might have been so but they conceived that it might be more advantageous to adventure the Money abroad, being at that time in a way of Trade, the which with their desire I consented too, - these things being confiscated, I do dispose of my whole Estate as is there mentioned, only my Mind is that in Case the £12 be not paid to my wife (as is expressed), that so much of my Lands be sold (that may best be spared) as may enable the true performance of the yearly Annuity willed to her during her natural life.
I give unto Joseph Deming, my gr. son, all my Wearing apparrel. I appoint my gr. child Joseph Mygatt to be my Executor. I desire my friend Paul Peck sen. and my son John Deming to be Overseers. Witness: Jos: Haines, Jo: MYGATT. Ls. Paul Peck.

4. A family tree found on FamilyTreeMaker concerning the Descendants of John Whiting states that William Whiting was born in Boxford "Sussex" and died in 1647 in Hartford, Connecticut. His wife Susannah Wiggin was born in 1609 in Milford, Connecticut and married William in 1635 in Hartford. This pedigree seems to contain multiple errors and speculation.

FAMILY OF ALEXANDER BRYAN
On page 7 of this work the Judge states that he purchased in London a deed which has been preserved among the papers of the descendants of WilHam Penn. This deed is printed on pages 8 to 10 of the Bryan pamphlet. This document dated July 20, 1663, is a conveyance from Richard Bryan of Milford in New England and his father Alexander Bryan also of Milford to Edward Baldwyn of Beconsfield in the county of Bucks in consideration of i 40 "All those twoe messuages or tenements and garden with all the outhouses " appurten nts thereunto belonging situate lying " being in the North Streete of Wendover, in the said county of Bucks, and now or late in the occupation of the widow Ovyatt (?) or her underten nt or underten nts which said messuage or tennements were given to Anne Bryan, mother of the said Richard Bryan deceased, " to the said Richard Bryan " their heires by the last will " testament of Richard Baldwyn of Dundridge, in the said County of Buck, deceased." From these documents it will be seen that Anne wife of Alexander Bryan, the emigrant and head of the Bryan family of Milford, was daughter of Robert Baldwin of the Baldwin family of Buckingham County, England. "Anne Briant" was admitted to full communion in the Milford Church, August 23, 1640. The record also states that she died February 20, 1661. Alexander Bryan married, second, Susanna widow of both William Whiting and Samuel Fitch of Hartford. There is no record of this marriage, but it probably took place soon after June 27, 1662, when "M"" Allexand"^ Briant and M" Susannah ffitch" signed an agreement transferring to the children of her first husband William Whiting, certain property that had been in her possession as his widow and administratrix, and requested the court to appoint new administrators on the estate.-^

Mrs. Susannah Bryan was admitted to the Milford Church December 6, 1669. Following the record of her admission on the Church book is this entry : "buried at Middletown July 8.73" John Winthrop Junior, Governor of Connecticut, in writing to his son Fitz-John Winthrop from "Hartford, July 15: 1673", said ' Hartford, Conn., County Court Records, vol. 3, reverse end, p. 69.

ALEXANDER BRYAN
"Old M''^ Bryan, M^ Whitings mother, died at Middleton Sabath day was seven night, where she was buried the Tuesday following: had not beene sick above a weeke.""*

Alexander Bryan made his will April 24, 1679 and July 22 following he made a codicil thereto. In the document he referred to himself as being weak of body. To his grandson Alexander Bryan he gave " 500 in addition to what he had already received. The house and home-lot where the testator then dwelt were to be considered a part of the i 500. He also gave him the old warehouse and one-half of the pasture land in Milford. These bequests including all previous payments were to be appraised and the value thereof in excess of i 500 was to be paid by the legatee to Samuel Bryan, another grandson of the testator. Alexander Bryan, child of the testator's grandson, Alexander, was given all the interest in the house and land at Eaton's Neck, Long Island, of which he was to come into possession when he became nineteen years old.

Hannah Harriman, grandchild of the testator, was given i 40, part of which she had already received.

The testator had previously given to his granddaughter Sarah Fitch, i 40 in a house which the testator had bought of Samuel Baldwin's widow. "My son in law Samuel Fitch" was directed to pay to the testator's grandson, Samuel Bryan, the amount due for the rest of the said house and lot.

Said Samuel Bryan was also given the testator's house and land in Milford opposite his son Richard's dwelling house, also the new warehouse and land at Indian Side, formerly belonging to Samuel Baldwin.

To his grandson, Richard Bryan Junior, he gave a house and home-lot bought of Samuel Eells, said Richard to come into possession thereof at the age of nineteen years.

If Richard should die under that age, the property was to go to the executor. The three grandchildren, Richard Bryan, Frances Bryan and Abigail Bryan, were given the household goods, plate, brass, pewter and all moveable goods in equal shares. If either child should die before coming of age or unmarried, the share of such child was to go to the survivors.
