A BIOGRAPHY OF SAMPSON REED, by Larry Overmire (3rd great grandson), Aug. 2008:

Sampson Reed (III) was born in Hartford, Oxford County, Maine, on Mar. 14, 1799, the second of ten children of Sampson Read Jr. and Jane Bradford Ellis.

On July 8, 1820, on the old Charles Bisbee homestead near Buckfield village, 21-year-old Sampson married 16-year-old Huldah Bisbee, the daughter of Revolutionary War veteran Lt. Elisha Bisbee and his wife Mary "Molly" Pettingell. They had 8 children: Elisha Bisbee, Lewis Bradford, Emily Mandeville, Lydia Phelps, Huldah Bisbee, Sampson Jr., Axel Hayford, and Augustus Stevens (died in childhood).

Initially, Sampson and Huldah moved to the 'Mason Farm' near Bear Mountain where their first child Elisha was born." After his brother Bradford died, Sampson and Huldah settled on the family homestead to care for his parents. Sampson made many improvements on the homestead until it became the center of attraction for the whole township.

Sampson was a prominent farmer and cattle drover. His son Axel H. Reed gave the following description of his father in his "Genealogical Record of The Reads, Reeds, the Bisbees, the Bradfords of the United States of America":

"He was a man of a strong constitution, vigorous in action as well as 'head strong' in his younger days. His build was a heavy, set, weighing two hundred and forty pounds in his palmy days at a height of near six feet. In addition to living a farm life, he dealt mainly in stock and for more than twenty years he visited nearly every part of Oxford County each year, buying cattle, gathering them at his home farm and from there driving them on hoof to the Westbrook and Brighton markets. The Westbrook market being near Portland, Me., and the Brighton market near Boston, Mass. He took an active part in politics and served as a representative in the Maine legislature and a term as one of the governor's council."

Sampson's family changed the spelling of the family name from "Read" to "Reed." His son Elisha initiated the spelling change when he entered the mercantile business in Boston. His brothers and many other relatives subsequently adopted the spelling of "Reed."

Sampson's wife Huldah died of consumption at the age of 38. He married again to a woman named Betsey H. sometime before 1850.

Sampson died at Hartford on April 6, 1877, at the age of 78, and was buried in the Read family lot in the Starboard Hill (aka Meeting House Hill) Cemetery there.

A Find A Grave volunteer could not locate Sampson's grave in 2010 and reported: "Searched entire cemetery and could not find grave. Not to say it isn't there because there are many many plots that are only marked with a cross and no name. Found wife Hulduah and a plot next to her that could be his but then again - no stone no name."

Aaron Worthington owned the land in Petersburgh, NY that we now know as "The Head of the Lane". In 1828, he gave a portion of this land to the Baptist Society to build their church. Aaron Worthington built the Petersburg Baptist Church in 1828. In 1855, Aaron Worthington built the Christian Church across the street from the Baptist Church, he was a member of the Christian Church. Next to these two churches lies the Worthington/Moses Cemetery, Aaron Worthington's stone is in the front row and reads: Major-General Aaron Worthington. The very large Inn where Aaron lived, that we refer to as the Worthington Inn, was torn down when they paved Route 22.

According to a widespread tradition among the descendants of John Brockett, of New Haven, he was the eldest son of Sir John Brockett , of Brockett Hall, Hertfordshire, who had been knighted by Queen Elizabeth and disinherited his son on account of his Pruitanical ideas. The son gave up all claims to the title and estates of the Brocketts in England and joined a group of his coreligionists which came to America with the Rev. John Davenport. It is also claimed from similar sources that he loved a Puritan maiden and on her account gave up his rights. After providing a home at New Haven, he returned to England, married her and brought her to this country.

These traditions are quite interesting, but would seem more valid if it were not for the fact that Sir John Brockett, of Brockett Hall, died October 2, 1598, and that John Brockett, the American pioneer, died at Wallingford, Connecticut, March 12, 1690, aged eighty years. He was, therefore, born in 1609 or 1610 and could not have been a son of a man who died in 1598. According to "Victoria History of Hertfordshire," Brockett Hall was owned by the family as early as 1477 and held by them until the death of Sir John Brockett in 1598, his heirs being five daughters and a grandson, child of his sixth daughter. Brockett Hall and the manor passed to his daughter Mary and her husband, Sir Thomas Reade.

John Brockett was born in England in 1609 and died at Wallingford, Connecticut, March 12, 1690, "aged eighty years." He came to America in 1637, probably in the ship "Hector," with the Rev. John Davenport. The vessel reached Boston, June 26, 1637. The following year John Brockett, the Rev. John Davenport, and others, left for Connecticut and purchased from the Indians land at Quinnipiac, the site of the present city of New Haven. There they founded an independent government under the " Plantation Covenant," which was based on strictly religious principles. John Brockett was one of the leading men of the Colony. He was an able engineer and surveyor, laying out in June, 1639, the large square, now center of the city, in nine equal sections. The same boundaries are still in use, and at the time the excellence of the work was especially mentioned in the early records. He continued such service, surveying other lands in 1645 and, in October, 1647, as inspector of highways. he was appointed one of the commission to settle troubles with the Indians in June, 1654, and helped them to survey their lands and fence them. Six years later he was a member of the commission to settle the boundaries between the New Haven Colony and the Hartford Colony. He was also a surgeon and, in June 1654, was appointed surgeon of the troops which were to cooperate with Cromwell's fleet in protection against the hostile intentions of the Dutch. During King Philip's War from June, 1675, to 1676, he was surgeon of the Connecticut troops. When the town of Elizabeth, New Jersey, was laid out, he was appointed by the Governor of that Colony to make the survey and allot the lands to the settlers. For this reason he resided there from December, 1667, to 1670 and received for his services a grant of land which he later sold to Samuel Hopkins. While in Elizabeth, he was elected member of the first General Assembly of New Jersey. He also held a similar office in Connecticut, after his return serving in the General Court in 1671, 1678, 1680, and from 1682 to 1685. The town of Wallingford, Connecticut, was founded towards the close of his stay at Elizabeth and he was appointed to the committee which managed its affairs. He resided there and received twelve acres in the first allotment of land. Four acres were utilized in the raising of hoop poles, which was a leading industry. The poles were received by the New Haven merchants as cash. His house lot was in the extreme south end of the village and was forty rods long and twenty rods wide. May 24, 1681, he and three others purchased land from the Indians, two miles in breadth and extending the length of the Wallingford bounds. The name of this wife is not known.

According to the "Families of Chesterfield" book, the histories state that he came to Chesterfield and cleared land near Kidd's Lookout, returned to Pembroke for his family; that he joined in the French and Indian War, where he died of smallpox. His widow and four children came to Chesterfield but apparently not to any ground on Kidd's Lookout. They settled west of the Westfield River near what is now known as Windy Lane. They are supposed to have been buried in the Gate Cemetary.

According to the Family tree of Lacey Allison Waggener, Philip's name was Huffman
Much of the information on Phillip came from his War of 1812 records. He reportedly was drafted on June 18, 1812, at Arven Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania. He served in the Philadelphia Militia, Company 7, regiment 132; and was listed as a Private. He served two separate periods, from 7/26/1813 to 8/11/1813; and from 1/1/1814 to 2/11/1814. This was a total of 59 days. Apparently he later requested a pension for this service, but was rejected for insufficient service. He did receive a land grant however, 165 acres in Medina Co., Ohio, which may be why they moved there. His occupation was listed as a farmer.

After returning from WWII he was very excited about being home and making it thought the war with no problems. On his first day back they had bought a new tractor and Clarence wanted to be the first to try it out. He ran on the side of a hill and the tractor rolled over on him and crushed him killing almost instantly. His family tried to get him free but could not get him out quick enough and he died of wounds and loss of blood. Everyone in the family was very upset and took his death very hard, as he was a well liked man and respected for his war effort.
