Notes
General:
Samuel4, WALLIS born say 1717, son of Samuel3 (William2) and Hannah (Seavey) Wallis. He died November 1793 at Rye. [The Oracle of the Day; Date: 11-09-1793, p. 3]. He married about 1743, Sarah MOSES, daughter of James3 (Aaron2 John1) and Martha (Jackson) Moses. She was born 10 September 1721 at Portsmouth [NEHGR 81:431] and was living 3 June 1772 when mentioned in her father's will as Sarah Wallis, wife of Samuel [Rockingham Probate #4517, Evans, Abstracts of Rockingham County Probate II: 649] but not mentioned in her husband's will of 16 October 1793. [Rockingham Probate #5975, Barbara Evans, Abstracts of Rockingham County Probate II:982].
After the death of his father in 1741, Samuel is consistently called the husbandman of Rye in records. This distinguishes him from his nephew, Samuel (the joiner/carpenter of Newcastle and Portsmouth), his son (Samuel Jr. of Rye) and his cousin, Samuel4 (William3). His family is also given in Kathleen E. Hosier, Vital Records of Rye, New Hampshire (Bowie, Md.: Heritage Books, 1992), p. 313, in her 1790 census section. She assigns a second wife to Samuel as widow Deborah Reeder, but there is no evidence for this.
Samuel, noted as a singleman, receives land from his father by deed on 1 June 1741 [NHPD 25:258]. He must have married about 1743 given the birth of his first child. As Samuel Wallis, husbandman of Rye he sold 10 acres in Rye to William Berry of Rye, husbandman on 2 May 1755 [NHPD 46:536]. The day before he also sold 10 acres in Rye to Jonathan Locke [NHPD 51:481]. On 28 December 1769 he sold 18 acres to Jonathan Locke, Jr. of Rye [Rockingham Deeds 102:28]. On 11 February 1771, Samuel Wallis, husbandman of Rye sold to Henry Seavey, 100 acres in Epsom, No. 111 in the fourth range of lots, being part of the original right of Deacon William Wallas, late of Rye, deceased. [Rockingham Deeds 110:73]. On 8 May 1777, Samuel sold to Samuel Wallis, Jr. of Rye, 55 acres in Rye, being the land he bought of Hannah Rand of Rye. [Rockingham Deeds 137:119]. On none of these deeds does his wife release dower rights.
As noted above he was enumerated in Rye in the 1790 census with a household of three men over 16, 2 females, and one other person. Samuel left a will dated 16 October 1793 and proved 19 February 1794. [Rockingham Probate #5975, Evans, Abstracts of Rockingham Co. Probate II:982]. He names his son Samuel and six daughters [all by just first name] of whom only Martha is unmarried [here Evans makes a mistake in her abstracts. The language of the will is clear.] Samuel wills his negro Philless (sic) to his son. She is obviously the "other person" in the 1790 census. His estate was valued at over 1100 pounds. No wife is mentioned. His children are picked up from Rye Vital Records and this will.

Notes
General:
Samuel3 Wallis was born ca. 1683, probably at Portsmouth, N.H., the son of William2 (George1) and Jane (Drake) Wallis. He died at Rye between 1 June and 26 August 1741, the dates on which his will was written and proved. [N.H. State Papers 33:55]. Samuel married about 1709, Hannah SEAVEY, daughter of William2 (William1) and Hannah (Jackson) Seavey. She was born say 1685 and died say 1739 or sometime earlier, based on the fact that Samuel must remarry before his own death in 1741. She is called daughter Hannah Wallis in the will of her father on 21 March 1728/29 [N.H. State Papers 32:356-57] and deceased daughter Hannah Wallis in the will of her mother on 10 September 1741 [N.H. State Papers 33:71-72]. Samuel married second, Deborah JORDAN, the daughter of Jeremiah2 (Robert1) and Deborah (Bickford) Jordan and widow of James Randall of Newcastle. After Samuel Wallis's death Deborah married for a third time to Henry Trefethen.
William2 deeds for life support to his son Samuel3 on 11 February 1722/23, giving him all his lands and instructing him to pay his sisters, Jane, the now wife of Stephen Lang, and Sarah, the now wife of Joshua Foss each twenty shillings. [N.H. Provincial Deeds 13:129-30]. On 1 June 1741, Samuel Wallis of Rye, husbandman, "in consideration of love, good will and affection I have and do bear towards my loving son Samuel Wallis of ye same parish, singleman" grants him his dwelling house and all his animals. [New Hampshire Provincial Deeds, hereinafter NHPD 25:258]. On the same day Samuel grants three tracts of land in Epsom to "his loving son George Wallis of Rye, husbandman," on one of which George was already living. [NHPD 25:292].
In his will, Samuel leaves his son William 50 acres in Epsom and 20 shillings. He then gives bequests to his sons George, Ebenezer, daughters Hannah and Mary and makes son Samuel his executor. On 10 February 1748, Deborah Trefethen, the widow of Samuel sued Samuel4, the executor of the estate [N.H. Provincial Court Case #25759]. In a deposition, it says that Samuel3 had died in August 1741 leaving four sons: William, the eldest, George, Samuel and Ebenezer, and Hannah and Mary his daughters. This is one of two suits over Deborah's right of dower, the other being N.H. Provincial Court Case #22774.

Notes
General:
He died shortly after the birth of his daughter, his wife remarried in time to have a daughter born 1817. Not found in 1810 census.
Samuel6, born say 1767. Certainly alive in 1790 with his father, and possibly alive in 1800, but certainly not in Epsom according to his father's will. According to the court case arising out of property claims of the heirs of Thomas Babb and Elizabeth5 (George4 Samuel3) Wallis, their daughter Jane Wallis Babb married a Samuel Wallis. The marriage on 25 June 1804 at Epsom of Samuel Wallis to Jane Babb is at Epsom VRs, p. 216. Further proof required. Certainly son Shadrach never comes back. And I have a hunch this man could be a son of Joseph5 (Samuel4 William3) whose household in the 1790 census at Epsom shows four males under sixteen. Certainly a son born ca. 1780 is a better candidate. More research is needed to sort this out.

Notes
General:
Buried in Brown-Wallace Cemetery in Epsom, NH, stone marked only S.W. and the date 1800, age 63 which would put his birth year as 1737.
Samuel5 WALLIS, the son of William (Samuel3 William2) and Comfort (Cotton) Wallis was born say 1739, probably at Portsmouth or Rye. He died between 8 January and 21 May 1800 at Epsom [Rockingham Co. Probate #6698]. He married say 1766, at Newcastle Jane CHASE, daughter of the Rev. Stephen4 (Joseph3 Aquila2-1) and Jane (Wingate) Chase. Sadly the marriage records for New Castle on volume 3 of the town records have a gap between 1758 to 1770. Jane was born at Lynn, Mass. on 7 January 1739/40 [Lynn Vital Records to the Year 1850, I:101], and died at Epsom in June 1821, aged 82 [Epsom VRs, p. 151]. He first appears in a deed dated 25 June 1760, as Samuel of New Castle, joiner, when he sells to William Wallis of Hampton [his brother, although no relationship is stated] 50 acres in Epsom that "our honoured father William Wallis, late of Rye, mariner, deceased," received from William Lock, Jr. [NHPD 63:182, which in turn cites deed 32:240]. He is distinguished from his uncle Samuel and first cousin Samuel by his profession, that is, he is always the Samuel Wallis, joiner, carpenter, or housewright. On 9 November 1769 and 2 January 1771, his two brothers conveyed their part of the William Seavey Epsom grant, noted in Samuel3's will, to Samuel. [Rockingham Co. Deeds 104:72]. Curiously the language of those deeds call their parts one quarter, which would infer one more sibling, although no evidence of another sibling exists except that. With their mother Comfort already dead, there was no dower as well. On 31 December 1772, Samuel sells half the Epsom land to Timothy Goodwin [Rockingham Co. Deeds 121:379] By 4 October 1781, he was living in Portsmouth when he sells land in Newcastle to Joseph Amazeen. His wife Jane releases her dower. [Rockingham Co. Deeds 135:257]. He has two children baptized at the North Church in Portsmouth: William on 24 October 1779 [New Hampshire Genealogical Record 6:80] and Robert on 10 August 1782 [Ibid, 7:13]. He is still there in the 1790 census with a household of four men over 16; one under 16; and 2 women. During that decade he relocates to Epsom where he leaves a will dated 8 January 1800 and proved 21 May 1800 [Rockingham Co. Probate #6698]. In this will, he calls himself Samuel Wallace of Epsom, joiner and names his beloved wife (though not by name); son Joseph Chase Wallace, son Samuel Wallace $50, if he should ever return home and call for it; son Shadrach Wallace $50 if he should ever return home and call for it, daughter Peggy Treadic (sic), and daughter Comfort Wallace. He bequeaths to his wife 100 acres in Gilmanton. His inventory includes joiner tools and was valued at $1512.10. His wife, the widow Jenny Wallace is enumerated in the 1800 census at Epsom with no males, one female 26-44 and one female over 45 (i.e. Jane, the widow and her daughter Comfort).
Children of Samuel5 and Jane (Chase) Wallis, the first five born at New Castle, the last two at Portsmouth-The order of the children is determined by the following factors. Joseph Chase Wallace's birth date from his Bible (1771), Comfort's age on death (65 and hence born ca. 1775), Margaret's marriage in 1790, the fact that three of the boys were over 16 in 1790, and the last two baptisms. Lastly, Samuel comes before Shadrach in his father's will.

In Rye, Mr. Samuel Wallace, aged 84.
Samuel5, baptized 16 August 1747, died Rye, 25 February 1832 [Rye VRs, p. 230], married there on 16 November 1773 [Rye VRs, p. 167], Elizabeth PARSONS, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Jones) Parsons. She was baptized at Rye on 14 Jul 1754 and died there 9 June 1827 [Rye VRs, p. 230]. Elizabeth is named Elizabeth Wallis in the will of her father. [Rockingham Co. Probate #5429, Evans, Abstracts of Rockingham Co. Probate II:715]. This couple is profiled in Hosier's Rye VRs, pp. 313-14, which gives them two children.. If only two children, they were both girls and this line of the Wallis family daughters out. In the 1800 census his household consisted of a male over 45; a women 26-44, a woman over 45 and one other free person.

Birth of children from Greenland Church Records which end 1751.
Samuel4 WALLIS born say 1715, based on his marriage, son of William3-2 and Martha (---) Wallis. Samuel's baptism does not survive as his siblings records do, but he is listed first in his father's will. Samuel married at Greenland on 23 June 1737 to Phebe LIBBY, daughter of Abraham3 (Anthony2 John1) and Sabina (Philbrick) Libby. [Greenland VRs, p. 47, NEHGR 65:355]. She was born in Portsmouth on 15 April 1720 [NEHGR 24 (1870):358] and died prior to 1755 when Samuel remarries. Samuel married second at Durham on 7 February 1755, Sedeny (variantly given as Sidna or Sibna, perhaps a variant of Sabena) TILLEY, daughter of Samuel and Jane (---) Tilley of Durham. Samuel died after 7 December 1781 but before 1 January 1793, when his second wife is called a widow [Strafford Co. Deeds 15:518].
Samuel is apparently living in Greenland after his marriage where five of his children are baptized. On 9 April 1737, Nathaniel Huggins, Jr. of Greenland, joiner, for eight pounds, sold to Samuel Wallis of Greeenland, laborer, 40 acres in Epsom described as "1/2 of a 50 acre lot I bought of Jediah Weeks of Greenland it being #19 one of ye lots granted to ye twenty men for settlement and 15 acres more not yet divided." [NHPD 35:311] On 27 February 1747, Samuel Wallis of Greenland, laborer for 25 pounds sold to Andrew McClary of Nottingham, yeoman, 40 acres in Epsom, precisely described as the foregoing deed. [NHPD 35:313] Both deeds were recorded together on 27 April 1748. On 17 December 1754, Samuel Wallis of Barrington, gentleman sold to Thomas Bickford of Epsom, husbandman, a 50 acre lot in Epsom. [rec. 12 March 1760, NHPD 61:70]. On the same day Thomas Bickford of Epsom, husbandman sold to Samuel Wallis of Barrington, husbandman, 60 acres in Epsom, it being lot #89 in the third range and 32 1/2 acres in lot 88. [Rockingham Co. Deeds 61:145] Samuel is next mentioned in the will of his father, William, and given a token monetary gift (three shillings), his portion having already been given. On 7 December 1781, Samuel Wallis of Barrington, yeoman sells to Weymouth Wallis of Epsom, yeoman, a tract in Epsom, one half of the lot no. 93 in the third range belonging to the original right of Foster Trefethern. [rec. 14 Aug. 1789, Rockingham Co. Deeds 125:278]. Samuel nor his second wife appear in the 1790 census and there is no probate record for them. His wife Phebe never released dower on deeds. There survives no deeds to Samuel from his father William and none from Samuel to any of his sons, despite the fact that at least one deed from Nathaniel alludes to the fact he gained the land from his father. On 1 January 1793, Sidna Wallace of Barrington widow, for 60 pounds sold to Thomas Glass of Nottingham, land in Barrington, 35 acres 1/2 lot formerly owned by Samuel Tilley of Barrington. She signed by mark as "Sibna Wallace". [rec. 2 May 1793, Strafford Co. Deeds 15:518]
His children are gleaned solely from baptismal records. There may be more. (research of M. Hollick)
The Chruch records of Greenland do not have the year of marriage, though it is in a list by month in which those married ahead of them are all 1737, so it would follow that this would be the correct year.
