Samuel Land

(Bef 27 Apr 1652 - 17 Mar 1687)

Discrepency in 1664 arrival date in U.S. with land purchase date of 1675 in Fenwick's Colony. Possibly he made a preliminary visit to West Jersey, or else lived elsewhere in America between 1664 and 1675. Or else this is a different Samuel Land altogether.
