SAMUEL TERRY.
Samuel TERRY married Ann LOBDELL, January 3, 1660. She died May 16, 1684, and he married second, Widow Sarah SCOTT, November 19, 1690. She died September 27, 1705. He died at Enfield, 1731.
Samuel Terry was in Springfield in 1650. The first mention of him is in a bond given to Benjamin Cooley to serve him "three years, six months and some odd days." in which Cooley agreed to teach him the trade of a linen weaver. It appears that Terry had been bound to Willilam Pynchon, and probably for at least five years, for paying his passage to this country. The bond was entered in Pynchon's Magistrate Book and is given in full below:
October 15, 1650.
Know all men by these presents that I samuell Terry, with the consent of my present master, William Pynchon of Springfield, gent have put myself an apprentice to Benjamin Cooly of Springfield, weaver, his heirs & assigns to serve him or them in any kind of lawful Imployment that the said Benjamin Cooly shall command me for and during the space of three years 6 months & some odd days from the tyme of the date hereof: In consideration whereof I the said Benjamin Cooly doe bynde myself my heirs & executors to pay unto the said William his heirs, or assigns the some of nine pounds, viz fifty shillinge more at the 10 day of Aprill next 1651, and fifty shillings at the 10 day of April 1652, & fifty shillings more at the 10 day of Aprill 1653, & thirty shilling the 10 of April 1654, at the house of the said Mr. Pynchon in good & merchantable wheat, at five shillinge p bushell, moreover I the said Benjamin Cooly do bynde myself my heirs & assigns to pay unto the said Samuell Terry now assigned & set over as above unto me as abovesaid, fifty shillinge in merchantable wheat & pease at the prise of abovesaid for the abovesaid for the first years of service, & fifty shillinge for the 2d year & fifty shillings for the 3d year & for the last half year & some odd days thirty & five shillings, & also in the said space to find the said Samuell Terry meat drink & lodging fitting as servants ought to have: and also I doe here bynd myself to instruct him and teach him the trade of linen weaving according to the use of it in this Towne of Springfield, provide he will be willinge & careful to learn it: And the said William Pynchon doth promise to the said Samuell Terry for his better incouragement to remit his last years service which he is bound by his Indenture made in England to serve him more than is expressed in this present both woolen & linen & doe also promise to give him twenty shillings more in such necessaries for apparell as he shall call for in the first years service with Benjamin Cooly: & the said Benjamin & not do him any damage according to his covenants expressed in his indenture to the said Mr. Pynchon which said indenture the said Mr. Pynchon doth assigne set over & deliver into the hand of the said Benjamin Cooly for the use & behoof of himself or any of the said persons mentioned in this contract, untill the said Samuell shall have performed the said service of 3 y 6 months & odd dayes from the date hereof: & for the Ratifienge of the said agreement the said Mr. Pynchon hath entered this agreement of public Records and also all the within named persons have hereunto set their hands this present 15 day of October 1650.

He was chosen Constable, was placed on important committees, to assist in laying out town boundaries, and to do other work of a public nature. Evidently he made good use of his time, not only with Cooley in his apprenticeship but in subsequent years. He opened his first account with John Pynchon May 22, 1654, when he purchased a bill of goods including "1yd 1-2 qr. of stuffy, 1 yd 1-2 of blew cotton, 1 sickle, having promised to help me reap 2 days when I call." He was much in Pynchon's employ, going to the Enfield falls with wheat and bringing back goods to the Pynchon store, sometimes in connection with Miles Morgan and at other times with Thomas Miller. The balance in his accounts do not appear to have been more than a few pounds, to which he frequently set his hand.
The movement to settle Enfield was originated by John Pynchon and a few others, and later Samuel Terry moved there with his family. The first town meeting in Enfield was held in 1688, and John Pease, Jr., and Samuel Terry were chosen Selectmen, and the latter became one of the most active and prominent men in the new settlement. The first meeting house was built in 1683, and in 1705 another larger and better building was erected. The work was done by Sejeant Terry and Zachariah Booth. When finished he and three others were appointed with the Selectmen a committee "to seat the meeting house before they meet in it."
