• Notes

  Samuel Stone was born on 18th July 1602, the third son of John and Sarah Stone (nee Rogers), who lived in Fore Street, Hertford. He was baptised on 30th July of that year at All Saints Church and lived on the site now occupied by Baroosh, formerly Barclays Bank. In 1620 he left the town to study at Emmanuel College in Cambridge, from where he graduated. He was ordained on 8th July 1626 at Peterbough and a year later became curate at Sisted, Essex. Shortly aftwards his wife, Hope (nee Fletcher) gave birth to their first daughter, Sarah. Stone was a Puritan. The Puritans were Protestants who wanted to purify the Church of England of its' ceremony and other aspects that they thought were Catholic. They wanted the powers of the lordly bishops reduced and condemned priestly vestments, church ornaments and music. They wanted the church restored to its' ancient purity and simplicity. This attitude put them in confrontation with The Crown and they were supressed. Samuel STONE arrived in Boston on the "Griffen" in 1633 with the Rev. Thomas Hooker, and together with other "men of means and high standing who were afterward prominent in colonial affairs" founded Hartford, CT (named after Samuel's birthplace in England). Samuel, a graduate of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, England where he received his B.A. in 1624 and his M.A. in 1627, was the son of John STONE (1573-1640) of Great Bromley, England and Sarah ROGERS (1577-?) of Hertford, who was the daughter of the Rev. Richard (1551-1618) and Sarah (1533-?) ROGERS of Chelmsford and Wethersfield, England respectively. John Stone's ancestors can be traced back to William Atte STONE (1365-1431) of Ardleigh, England. Samuel was made the 1st Teacher of the Church at Cambridge, MA until he departed with Hooker's party for Hartford, CT in 1636. His name, along with Thomas Hooker and John Haynes (who became Governor of MA and later CT) are listed as Residents of New Towne (later called Cambridge) from 1632-35. He was also a chaplain in the Pequot War of 1637 and 2nd Pastor of the 1st Church of Hartford, CT. He is buried along side Thomas Hooker and John Haynes in Center Cemetery, Hartford, CT and is on a list of names of the Founders of Hartford, on an obelisk in the Center Church Burial Ground, erected 1837.
