"Mr. Samuel * Ayres Died * Nov 15 1768 * Aged 54 * years."
Samuel AYRES, III (Great-Grandson of Capt. John Ayres) son of Samuel AYRES, JR. (1677–1737) and Eleanor RANDALL (1677-1734); born 1714, MA; died 15 November 1768, drowned in the "Connecticut River;" buried Evergreen Cemetery, South Hadley, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts.
Samuel AYRES married 21 January 1742, Brookfield, Worcester Co., Province of Massachusetts Bay to Martha BELL.
*Source:
Vital Records of Brookfield, Massachusetts; “Brookfield Marriages,” Page 256. AYERS, Samuell and Martha BELL, Jan. 21, 1742* (*intention not recorded).
The book: "A Record of the Descendants of Captain John Ayres of Brookfield, Massachusetts" by William Henry Whitmore, c1870, Boston gives a brief BIOGRAPHY of Samuel Ayres.
Strangely, Mr. Whitmore could not determine the parentage of this Samuel who married Martha BELL. On two charts Samuel is identified as #36, a fourth generation from Capt. John Ayres (i.e., great-grandson). He should have been included as a child of #15 Samuel Ayres who married Eleanor Randall (p 18).

Note by contributor 25 Dec. 2016:
Samuel's tombstone gives age at death as 54 rather than Mr. Whitmore's age 52.
Because of the early demise of both parents, the younger children were given into the care of other families, as provided by records in the courts of MA. This included my direct ancestor, Asa Ayres who later married Mary Wait and removed to Ohio. / GJOT.
