NOTES with REFERENCES

Edited on: 05/17/14

G. T. Ridlon, the author of the Genealogical publication, "Saco Valley Settlements and Families," mentions, he believes Samuel Larrabee to be the son of Stephen2 Larrabee.

See: Author's comments* in “Saco Valley,” Page 816: “Another Samuel(3) Larrabee who m. Sarah Breed and removed to Lunenburg and Ringe has been confounded with this man and was designated as son of Isaac Larrabee of Lynn but that Samuel was m. on Jan. 14, 1717; and had children m. as early as the date of births of children of this Samuel and wife Mary Brown.” https://archive.org/stream/cu31924028809619#page/n911/mode/2up

Page 817: ... that Samuel was m. on Jan. 14, 1717; this date coincides with date mentioned on page 827 for Samuel's marriage.

Page 817: Ridlon's footnote: "Since the above was written my researches have caused me to think this Samuel was a brother of Capt. John, Capt. Benjamin, and Ephraim—all sons (?) of Stephen and Isabel, of North Yarmouth and Maiden." https://archive.org/stream/cu31924028809619#page/n911/mode/2up

Page 827: Lists Samuel as fourth child and fourth son of Stephen2; 4) Samuel(3), b. 1690 (?) ; m. 1717; living 1760. https://archive.org/stream/cu31924028809619#page/n923/mode/2up
