Disputed Origins

A previous version of this profile attached him as son of Nathaniel Hayes, without source. But this was Samuel's brother, not father. See below.

Another previous version of this profile claimed, without source, that Samuel's mother was Ruth who was baptized at Tenterden, Kent England on March 11, 1626, the daughter of John Stanley. She, too was too young to be his mother.

Jacobus calls him brother of the Nathaniel Hayes who married Mary, daughter of Thomas Kimberly, and that they were both sons of the first wife of Nathaniel Richards of Norwalk because a) Samuel calls Richard "father" and b) Richards left Samuel a legacyin his will.^[1]
