Edna Anne Hannibal, "John Briggs of Sandwich, Massachusetts and His Descendants" (Palo Alto, CA: the author, 1962)
When I say "after" a date it usually means I knew about a probate record, or some other record that he was alive on that date. Frankly, I don't know why I used this date back in the early 1990s.
I looked for rochester MA records, and Samuel Briggs records, on AmericanAncestors and Ancestry without much success.
There is a death date of 2 Feb 1688 in Rochester for a Samuel Briggs, but that may be some other Samuel.
I added a source to John Briggs-440 that supports SOME of the children listed, but Samuel is not one of the ones included in the source.
The children and wife for this Samuel match the above cited reference. It says his death date is unknown, so November 1688 is probably the death date for Briggs-681.
