2.6 Samuel, son of John and Mary (Browning) Pease; b. about 1655 in Edgartown, MA; d. either Oct 12, 1689 in Newport, RI, or Jul 23, 1706 in NH. There are two different sagas about Samuel Pease, the first being, that he was believed to be the commander of the sloop of war Mary, fitted out by the Massachusetts Colony in 1689 to protect the coast from the attacks of French pirates. The sloop was fitted with a barrel of powder, fifty pounds of small shot, and twelve guns. A twenty man all volunteer crew was under Captain Pease’s command. On Oct 04, 1689, they were engaged in battle with one of three pirate vessels near Tarpaulin Cove and during the encounter; Captain Pease was "shott in severall places". He defeated the enemy, capturing vessel and crew, but his wounds were of such serious character that he was taken to Newport, RI, for treatment and "did grievously languish" until his death, and his remains are buried there. Various records concerning the affair are extant showing that he "left a widow and foure orphans in a poore and low condition," for whom collections were taken up in churches throughout the Colony. The pirates, Thomas Pound, Thomas Johnson, Eleazer Buck, John Sickterdam, William Dun, Richard Griffin, Edwarde Browne, Daniel Lunder, William Warren, and Samuel Watts were all charged with shooting Samuel Pease. Edward Browne was acquitted, the rest were found guilty, and hung. The name of Samuel’s wife and records of birth of his children are non existent. If this is the true biography of Samuel Pease [2.6], his first son may be the Samuel in the second biography, but he would be too young to be on the jury in 1694. If Samuel Jr. was baptized in 1679 at an age of three or four, he could have been the Samuel in “Record #2”. Not knowing the exact birth date of Nathaniel Pease [2.6.6], and not having any information on Samuel [2.6.1] only adds to the puzzle.
The other record of Samuel is that he went to Exeter, NH, and was killed by the Indians Jul 23, 1706. A Samuel Pease was on a coroner's jury in Exeter in 1694, and on trial in Portsmouth, NH in 1695. On Jul 23, 1706, twenty Indians fell on ten Exeter men as they were mowing in a field between Exeter and the Lamphril River. Samuel Pease was among the white men killed. The administration of his estate went to Richard Hilton of Exeter on Nov 05, 1706, and his widow had a grant from the town on Feb 04, 1698, of fifty acres of land which was laid out on Oct 28, 1700 at Piscassic (Newfields) NH. The name of this Samuel’s wife may have been Elizabeth, and she remarried after his death, Jan 22, 1707 to Samuel Smith of Hampton, NH, whose grandfather, Samuel Smith, came from Martha's Vineyard. Samuel’s wife may have been Mary. Children of Samuel Pease, born in Edgartown, MA, baptized in the South Church in Boston, MA:
