| Notes |
- BIRTH-DEATH-MARRIAGE-SPOUSE-PARENTS: The Trowbridge genealogy, history of
the Trowbridge family in America; Francis Bacon Trowbridge; Tuttle,
Morehouse & Taylor; New Haven; 1908.
Samuel Trowbridge after his marriage settled in his native town and lived
there until the spring of 1749. At that time he removed to the town of
New Fairfield, Conn., where he passed the remainder of his life. He was a
farmer. In Stratford he held several of the minor town offices, such as
fence viewer in 1735 and surveyor of highways in 1736 and 1746. He and
his wife were admitted to full communion in the Stratford Congregational
church July 28, 1731. They were also communicants of the New Fairfield
Congregational church, of which Mr. Trowbridge was chosen a deacon on
March 29, 1758. He held this office until his death and was a leading man
in the town.
His family bible, in which had been entered the following records of the
family, had been preserved by his descendants until 1858, when it was
destroyed by fire in a store at Abbeville, S. C., which belonged to his
great-great-grandson, Joseph Trobridge. The following verse was also
recorded there:
"Samuel Trowbridge, born was he
In seventeen hundred, you may see;
The month of August he was born,
The sixth and twentieth, in the morn."
