153 Samuel Adams (1734 - c 1800) was the son of Adam, a Quinnpiac; Samuel was married to Hannah Squamp (Wangunck) and had served in the army in 1736 and 1768. His son Solomon married Olive Occom, Samon’s daughter.

Solomoon Mossuck (1723 - 1802) and his wife Eunice, both church members, were the parents of Daniel, who attended Wheelock’s school and later fought in the Revolutionary War. 

Wrote letters to the Poquiantup sisters. 159 Jacob Fowler was married to Esther Poquiantup (or Paukanop); two other sisters, probably unmarried at this time, were Eunice and Prudence. Prudence later married a man named Cujep, and then Gideon harry; she died in 1828 in Brotherton. 
Relationship with Hannah Poquiantup at Wheelock's? 

Saw Joseph Sunsaman of Grotton at Elijah Wimpey's. 

Race
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This is he of whom I said let us all be persuaded to Remember. This is the God whom Our fathers Disobeyed, & Provoked, & were ignorant of, and are Destroyed. But we their Children who have walked in the Steps of our fathers and more agravtedly sinned agains the great God of Heaven & Earth, and trampled under foot the blood of the Eternal Son, of the Ever blessed God. We hard hearted, Stubborn, Rebellious, and Impenitent, Gospel rejecters and Gospel sinners are yet Spared. O the amazing goodness, long forbearance of the great, Eternal God, towards us his Creatures we are yet the spared monuments of God’s mercy.
