Historical & Genealogical Register (Vol. 75, p. 185-186):
"Prior to her
marriage she [Hannah Wooster] had a son by Abel Waters, viz., Abel Waters, of
Oxford, b. in 1767, m. 25 Dec. 1788 Ruth Curtis of Stratford."
"Descendants
of Edward Wooster" further states that Elisha Wooster4 (Samuel3,
Timothy2, Edward1), "bequeathed his entire estate by
will to his 'nephew Abel Waters,' having previously (on 26 April 1788) given
two deeds of property at Quaker's Farm [Oxford] to 'Abel Waters son of Hannah
Oatman wife of Samuel Oatman.'"
Samuel married 2)
at Arlington, Vermont, Susanna _____, who died 4 May 1825 at the age of
73. She is buried next to Samuel in the
Arlington Cemetery.
Samuel settled at
Oxford, Connecticut, where his children were born. He appears to have had a large estate and
operated hotels in Oxford and nearby towns.
He removed to Arlington, Vermont, in later life.
