Samuel Hedge married Ann Fenwick "by 30 Nov. 1676, when Samuel Hedge of Salem was described in a land patent of that date as "second son of Samuel Hedge of London, mercht." He was appointed secretary and register of Fenwick's Colony for lifetime in the will of his father-in-law, dated 7 Aug. 1683, and he represented Salem Tenth in the West N. J.
