Samuel Belding1

#7409
"Among the earliest accessions to the settlement [Ashfield] as it now consisted, of three families, was Dea. Ebenezer Belding, from Hatfield, and Samuel Belding, from Deerfield, with their families. Other settlers came in from time to time, from different quarters. A number of families joined them from the southern part of Connecticut, so that by the year 1754 they numbered from ten to fifteen families and nearly one hundred souls."
p. 373: "Deacon Ebenezer Belding, Sr., was an early settler in Ashfield. He was from Hatfield, a town about 20 miles southeast of Ashfield"
p. 371: "Two of the early families in Ashfield were those of Samuel Belding, of Deerfield, and Ebenezer Belding, Sr., of Hatfield. It is not known whether they were relatives, but probably they were cousins, or if not, then more remotely connected."2
