"Edward Samuel - b. about 1608 in England; was recorded in hartford, Conn.
about 1640, where it is stated that he took a grant of land, but failed to
prove it and thus lost it. He lived a time in the Saybrook aread, but left for
Portsmouth, R.Island, where he died in 1692. He had married a Martha (surname
unknown) and named her in his will, as well as 'His Brother Robert; his brother
John's eldest son, John, and to sons of brothers Robert and John'. This will
established the fact that the three Lay emmigrants were brothers. No mention
was made of any of his children, hence we must assume that he died childless
and his line ended with his death."
