Notes:

Samuel, along with Bartholomew Stevenson, Peter Mason Jr. and Stephen Jenkins were charged in September 1701 with aiding in the escape of Grace Hall, daughter of the Deacon John Hall, after being charged with bastardy (she was 27 years old at the time). Samuel was witness against Joanna Potts, his mother-in-law, for selling drink in 1707.
He owned 20 acres of land in 1719, presumably on his father Cornelius' grant on Fresh Neck Creek in Dover, left to him by his father. In 1719 Richard Waldren filed a suit in court against a dozen people "Pretenders to Land at Cocheco Point", including "Samuel Cosen. Planter." The suit dragged on for nine years and was settled in 1728 by dividing the land in question and giving half to Waldren. It appears that Samuel left his father's grant early in the 1720's but not because he was dispossessed. During the time of the lawsuit Samuel held a homestead in the Rollingsford (or Somerswirth) section of Dover. He was granted land in 1722 in Rochester, receiving a "thirdly third share," or one share to be divided equally between three poeple. He sold this property in 1725, but never lived on it, as the first permanent settler didn't move into Rochester until 1728.
Samuel's land was noted in Somersworth 9 March 1727 in a plan to lay out a highway from Salmon Falls to Cocheco, passing between Samuel Corson's land and the Wallingford's land.
Samuel "Cason" along with other inhabitants at the Somersworth section of Dover, signed a petition 17 April 1729 asking to separate Somersworth from Dover, stating: "the Dwellin places of your Ptitioners are at a great distance from the house of the Publick Worship of God in the Town of Dover where your petitioners live, by which their attendance thereon is rendered very difficult....It is humbly prayed by them that your Excellency .... sett them off as a Parish .... amongst themselves."
Samuel is believed to have moved into Berwick, Maine in the early 1730s, probably shortly after 17 March 1729/30 when he and his wife sold their homestead to Thomas Wallingford. The earliest mention of his name in York County was "Samnuel Corson of Berwick" among a group of men who bought the mill privileges at Great Falls in Somersworth in 1737. On 6 June 1739, Samuel Colson of Berwick, labourer, sold his property to Samuel Lord for 50 pounds. By 1742 Samuel was on the Rochester tax list, and there is no evidence he lived in Rochester before that date.
Samuel signed his "O" mark 19 Sept. 1753 in a deposition with two other men stating the "mark and dry pitch pine standing .... exact location then given .... seen the Letters thereon and have known it to be the reputed Bounds of Dover ... for thirty years past and upwards and further saith not." He received a summons issued to him in February 1756 for defaulting on a note on behalf of Job Clememnts.Judgement was obtained in Portsmouth by Clememnts for the balance plus two pounds, 18 shillings and 6 pence in costs.
He lived probably to 1764, and had moved over the Rochester line into Somersworth. In the First Annual Report of the City of Sommerworth a new road "over ye rocky hills" is described as "running ... to the old way below Samuel Corson's house."
By this time there were two other Samuel Corsons - one Samuel's son removed to Cherryfield, Maine, and his grandson Samuel (son of Zebulon) and in his 30s. His grandson was in the list of inhabitants of Lebanon, ME in 1760 and had purchased the land he was living on by 1766.

Samuel married POTTS, Mary after Apr 1708 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA. Mary (daughter of POTTS, Thomas and ROBERTS, Joanna) was born on 6 Jul 1690 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA; died in 1775 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Differentiator: Taken captive by the Abenaki indians and brought to Quebec where she married

Notes:

Abigail died at age unknown. She was captured by Indians in an attack on Cocheco Point (Dover) either on June 28, 1689, or February 1690. She was taken to Trois Riviere (Three Rivers) Canada, in the province of Quebec.She was included on lists of Indian prisoners in 1695, 11 Nov 1702 and 1710/11. Apparently she was baptized in Canada and as "Louise" Corsonouit, living at Three Rivers, she received 60 livres of the King's money. She was not heard of again.

Zebulon was in the army in 1746 when the family was living in Somersworth, near Dover. He and Mary moved upriver to nearby Lebanon, York Co. ME in their later years with most of their adult children. Zebulon was baptized as an adult by the Rev. Hasey in June 1773. In July and Aug. of that year Hasey was at Zebulon's house to pray with his sick daughter Lydia.

On Jul 28, 1784 the Rev. Hasey wrote that 'Zebulon Corson said he heard a chorus of Angels' and after he became speechless that he "visited and prayed with him.

Zebulon was described as a laborer and died from "decay of nature". Mary died at the home of son Moses.
