• Notes

  This person and family are still under review due to discrepancies. In some family historians' records, father's wife Sarah is listed as Sarah Stretch. By some accounts, William was b. about 1762 and the child of the first wife. Presently William, 1762, is in this database under the 1st wife. This family was discussed in the first issue of Scudder Searches, (Scudder Association), volume 1, no. 1, p. 8: "Samuel, Jr., born ca 1734; probably the Samuel who married Leah Sochwell, 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."
