• Notes

  FAMILY STILL UNDER REVIEW: Samuel Scudder, Jr. is probably the Samuel Scudder who married 8 Jan 1761, Cumberland Co., NJ, Leah Sockwell. See marriage record. Family is cited in the first issue of Scudder Searches, Scudder Association, v. I, no. 1, (Spring 1989): 8: "Samuel, Jr., born ca 1734; probably the Samuel who married Leah Sochwell [Sockwell], 8 Jan 1761, Cumberland Co., NJ; married 2) Sarah Stretch (Born 2 Feb 1736). Five children listed in Samuel's will: Phebe, Salome, Elizabeth, William, and Thomas (who died 2 Nov 1802, Salem Co., NJ). [Samuel Jr., b. ca 1734] Died 8 mar 1796, apparently Salem Co NJ. (A Samuel and a Thomas Scudder were property owners in Salem Co, Lower Alloways Creek Twp in 1793, according to James S. Norton, New Jersey in 1793 (Salt Lake City, 1973), pg. 366.) Further documentation should be available later." A Sarah Stretch married Samuel Test of Alloways Creek on 10 November 1768, from Salem Friends' Meeting Records. If she is Sarah, the 2nd wife of Samuel Scudder, Jr., we should look for a marriage record between a Sarah Test and Samuel Scudder. Samuel's will was witnessed 8 March 1796, but not proved until 10 January 1799. Thus, his death would have been just prior to the date the will was proved.
