Robert Williams ("of Roxbury") & Elizabeth Stalham's 3rd child was Samuel, who became a shoemaker and then a deacon in the Roxbury Church (the minister of that Church was Rev. John Eliot).

He married Theoda Parke in 1653; she was a daughter of Deacon William Parke.

Samuel was instrumental in the formation of Pomfret, CT, in surveying the land, setting boundaries, and acting on a committee that was "to issue any differences that may arise among [the new inhabitants]."
(One of his grandchildren, Ebenezer, was the first minister of that town.)
