Notes	On the afternoon of 10 April, 1676, he was carting manure into his field with the aid of his 5 year old son Samuel Jr. Looking toward his house, he was surprised to see feathers coming from it. He hurried and heard his wife scream. By the time he reached home, his wife Hannah had been murdered as had his son Thomas, twin of Samuel Jr. The nurse had taken his newly born daughter and had run for the nearest garrison house. Finding she could not move fast enough, she dropped the baby girl who was promptly killed by the Indians chasing her. Savage says: SAMUEL, Woburn, s. of the preced. by w.
