Notes for Samuel Currier
"New England Marriages Before 1700" say they married ca. 1665.
About a third of the way up the hill in the old Pentucket cemetery, Haverhill, Massachusetts, on the right of the central walk, stands a brown stone on which is inscribed "here lyes ye body of Samuel Currier who died March ye 14 1713 aged 77 years" or so it was recorded in 1872 by a descendent.
Samuel Courier married Mary Hardy, a daughter of Thomas and Anne Hardy, about 1663. Thomas Hardy was probably among the first 12 who came to Ipswich in 1633 with Winthrop. Thomas first settled in Merrimack Village, a part of Rowley and later in Bradford. Thomas Hardy was born about 1605 and died in Bradford 4 January 1677/8.
The earliest reference to Samuel Currier is the purchase of 24 acres of land in Haverhill in June, 1665. Samuel and Mary Hardy Courier lived in Bradford when their first two children were born and then moved to Haverhill where eight more children were born.
Samuel was a farmer in Haverhill, having purchased more land in 1696. Samuel, together with his son John, born 1673, and others, built a corn or grist mill for Haverhill. In 1701 he purchased ten square miles of land lying on the west line is of Haverhill from John Indian of Pennacooke, an Indian huntsman, for 5 pounds silver.
Samuel may have been a younger brother to Richard Currier, born about 1616, of Amesbury, Massachusetts. While there is a great similarity to the names used for their children, no other relationship has been found. This has led to some confusion in establishing the family groups in later generations. For example, there was a Samuel Currier living in Berlin, Vermont when Samuel Currier Roberts was born, and was believed to be the father of Samuel Currier Roberts. Further study now shows the Samuel Currier of Berlin was a brother to James Currier, the grandfather to Samuel Currier Roberts.88
Samuel and Mary Hardy Currier named their first son, third child, Samuel in 1669. This son died on the day of his birth and later they also gave this name to their 10th and last child. Samuel Currier was a farmer at Haverhill until about 1729 and then Methuen, Massachusetts.88
