Samuel Nevins (M)
b. 1657, d. 2 November 1751, #128

Note* As per information from Jack Nevins, Samuel Nevins immigrated to New England with his three brothers (who have yet to be identified). Several sources suggest that he emmitraged from somewhere near Edinborough, Scotland. However, his tombstone tells us that he was "Formerly of Londonderry." Given his birth date this can only refer to Londonderry in Northern Ireland (Londonderry, NH wasn't so named until the 1720's). I believe that Samuel must have immigrated before 1720 (when his son James was born in Rowley, MA), probably settling in Essex Co., MA. I think it likely that he fished for cod in the WInter (New England fishermen fish cod in the Winter to this day), and spent his Summer's in the interior gathering tar, turpentine, and lumber. These items, collectively known as "naval stores" were a major export (along with dried cod) item from New England in the 18th Century. All of which suggests that Samuel (and his brothers) were involved in trade with the West Indies where there was a market for naval stores and dried cod.1 
Birth* 1657 "of" Londonderry, "Here lies the body of Mr. Samuel Nevins,
Formerly of Londonderry, who departed this life Nov. ye 2d 1751,
In ye 94 year if his age"2 
Marriage* Margaret (?) 
Marriage* before 1714 Martha (__________); We assume that Martha Married Samuel Nevins before the birth of Robert Nevins 
Event-Misc* 1726 The Elbows (later, Kingstown, and finally Palmer), Hampshire (later Hampden), MA, James Shearer and family from Antrim, Ireland came to Union, CT, in 1720, and from thence to The Elbows with THE NEVINS FAMILY in 17263 
Residence* Union, Tolland Co., Connecticut, "Samuel Nevins, who was afterwards a land proprietor and settler in Union, but soon moved to Palmer" See daughter's record for further quote4 
Deed 28 February 1729 Brimfield, Hampshire, MA, William Nilson, blacksmith of Brimfield MA, in consideration of 8 Lbs. grants to Samuel Nevins, husbandman of Stafford CT 50 acres of undivided land in Union CT. Deed is dated 28 Feb. 1729 (new style date) and recorded 2 March 1731.5 
Deed* 24 September 1730 Elbow Tract (now Palmer), Hampshire Co. (now Hampden Co.), Massachusetts,      "A petition of John King, Samuel Nevins, and others, Inhabitants of some lands lying between the towns of Brookfield and Springfield, and northward of Brimfield, and adjoining on the north upon some lands called Equivalent Lands in the county of Hampshire, Praying for a tract of the sd, of the contents of six miles square for a settlement thereof."
     It is to be noted that the petition was turned down, but the people settled there anyway, and that deeds were given out.6 
Deed 19 June 1732 Kingstown (now Palmer), Hampshire Co. (now Hampden Co.), Massachusetts, No. 51. Nevins, Robert and David. Had a grant of 100 acres by the General Court. The lot was [originally] bought by John Dorchester of the Claimers [who died before the 1732 settlement by the General Court]. It is situated at the source of King's brook and was about a mile from the country road. It has formerly been known as the Harvey Sherman farm and since owned by Mr. - Graves.

It lies east of Three Rivers village and "near the flag pond" described in the grant. It was owned by Theophilus Knight in 1809, and since by Kittridge Earle and Omri Bourns.

Martha (__________)
(Witness) Deed 12 May 1741 Martha (__________); Kingstown (later Palmer), Hampshire (later Hampden), MA, In which Samuel sells his 50 acres of undivided land in Union to Robert Nevins. Martha Nevins makes her mark ("O") and seal next to Samuel Nevins' signature and seal in the position where a wife would usually place her mark. However, Martha is not mentioned in the body of the deed. John Nevins witnesses the deed, and John Pynchon (Jr.) acts as Notary.8 
(Witness) Deed 20 May 1741 James Nevins; Palmer, Hampshire, MA, Samuel Nevins sells (for 800 Lbs.!) the Nevins farm on the Point in Palmer (that is, land granted to Samuel in 1733 by the MA General Court) to Samuel Jr. and James Nevins as equal partners. This is an extraordinary price for 100 acres of land in Kingstown in 1741. I strongly suspect that it was, in fact, a gift from Samuel to his sons and that Samuel was just having the neighbors on about the price. John Pynchon again notarizes the deed.9 
Deed 23 November 1743 Kingstown (later Palmer), Hampshire (later Hampden), MA, In which Samuel divides the property of his deceased son John (late of The ELbows) between his (Samuel's) son James (2/3rds) and his (Samuel's) daughter Mary (1/3rd).10 
James Nevins
John Nevins
Death* 2 November 1751 Kingstown (now Palmer), Hampshire Co. (now Hampden Co.), Massachusetts2 
Burial* November 1751 Old Center Cemetery, Kingstown (now Palmer), Hampshire Co. (now Hampden Co.), Massachusetts, "Nevijns, Samuel 'formerly' of Londonderry Nov 2, 1751 in 94th year"11 
(Witness) Deed 18 July 1775 Mary Nevins, Samuel Nevins Jr; Hartford, Hartford, CT, A deed of gift in which Samuel Nevins [Jr] gives "to his loving nephew and niece Joseph Church Jr. and Mary Church his wife [and daughter of Samuel's deceased brother Robert Nevins] The Nevins Farm in the Point in Palmer MA, 60 acres of land in Brimfield purchased from Samuel's brother James, which James in turn purchased from their brother David [all these relationships spelled out in the deed]. Also an additional 30 acres of land in Brimfield purchased from James Nevins [named as a brother of Samuel] and three 25 acre lots in Palmer.

This must have been a wedding gift from Samuel Nevins Jr (acting on behalf of the Nevins Family since Mary's father Robert is deceased in 1775) to Joseph and Mary Church. Hence, it provides a date for their marriage.

This deed proves that Samuel Jr is the son of Samuel(1); that James Nevins (of Greenwich MA), David Nevins (of Canterbury CT) and Robert Nevins (father of Mary Church) are brothers, all childern of Samuel(1).

Samuel describes himself as a resident of Union, CT in this deed

b. between 1690 and 1700, #129

Note* Leslie Corn said: That Jonnet Nevins, not Jonnet Collyer, appears as a creditor and then in the final accounting of the estate of David Nevins at a date that would post-date her marriage to Hezekiah Collyer, makes it more likely that this Jonnet is David's mother, not sister.1
