CAPT. SAMUEL WADSWORTH was the son of Christopher and Grace Wadsworth of
Duxbury. He was supposed to be their oldest child. It is stated that
when he died he was forty six years old but this uncertain. He married
Abigail Lindall of Druxbury, and owned lands at one time in Bridgewater,
which were a part of a grant to his father. These lands comprised one
sixty fourth part of Bridgewater when it included most of Hanson and
Abington. In 1685 Captain Wadsworth's share is entered upon the
Bridgewater records under the name of Widow Wadsworth. About 1660
Captain Wadsworth bought several hundred acres of land in Milton. A
part of his estate was retained in the family to the 8th generation.
His family consisted of six boys and one girl. His wife lived on the
homestead many years after his death. Captain Wadsworth was an
influential citizen, and took active part in affairs both political and
religious. At the time of Philip's War he was a captain in the militia
of Milton. He was considered "a resolute, stout hearted solider," and
"one worthy to live in our history under the name of a good man".
(quoted from the: Genealogy of the Wadsworth Family). (page 251)
