Samuel married Mary HUTCHINS on 15 May 1688 in West River, Anne Arundel, MD. Mary (daughter of Francis HUTCHINS) was born in 1670; died in Jul 1751. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
The Thomas Book states "As Samuel Thomas unquestionably m in 1688, a Mary Hutchins, and their certificate is signed, first, by Francis Hutchins (see West River Marriage Book, p. 19), she must have been the child of a former marriage, her sister of the same name marrying Benjamin Hance.

Note: It seems unlikely to me that Francis Hutchins who married Elizabeth Burrage is the father of this Mary by a previous marriage as stated in "The Thomas Book." At the time of his will in 1698 Francis Hutchins listed 7 children in his will, a son John and 6 daughters all under the age of 16. If this Mary Hutchins marries in 1688 she was likely born between 1660 and 1673, too old to have been his daughter. I have seen recorded that son-in-law Samuel Thomas is mentioned in the will of Francis Hutchins but have not seen a copy of that.

From the West River Marriage Book, folio 19.
