Individual Details
Samson Stoddard
(1680 - 23 Aug 1740)
Rev. Samson Stoddard (1706-1740), may have drowned himself in a well after three or four years of partial derangement, perhaps due to the pressures of his job. However, as a student at Harvard College he "spent freely, broke windows, and paid fines in the customary way."
