Notes - Came to America on the "Griffin" with Thomas Hooker in 1633. Took Freeman's Oath May 14, 1634, and settled first in Cambridge. Samuel Stone was the teaching colleague of Thomas Hooker at Hartford, CT. Hartford was named for Stone's home in England, Hertford. He was a firm opponent of the "half-way covenant." Chaplain of troops under Captain John Mason in Pequot War. After Hooker died he got into a squabble with church members which was described by Savage as "equally bitter and unintelligible." Mather considered the origin "undiscoverable." The dispute could not be resolved, and in 1659 about 35 families left Hartford to found the town of Hadley in Massachusetts. When Stone died 1/5 of his estate was in books. Studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. On March 1 1654/55 Walter Filer (#3208) charged Samuel Stone in court with "breach of a fundamental law" and the "elders in general sin and wickedness", but Filer's conduct was deemed insufferable and his charges baseless. ("The Great Migration Begins")
