He was in the NewLondon-Lyme riot on the New London side in August 1671;settled in New London, 1673 and died there. "Genealogy of Tubbs Family of Luzerne Co., PA", by ArthurR. Mandeville. Samuel Tubbs, 1638-1696, eldest child of William Tubbswas born 1638 in Duxbury, MA. It is assumed he leftDuxbury and moved to New London, CT before his father'ssecond marriage to Dorothy Soames. He was in his father'swill long after he had moved to New London, and someauthors place him in New London by 1663. Land disputes arose between New London and Lyme overwhich town should have the right to plow the same meadow.The dispute resulted in riots between settlers of thetowns. In 1671, Samuel participated in the contest on theside of New London. Samuel Tubbs was a farmer and lived in New London utilhe died in 1696. In 1696, Samuel received a grant of landin Voluntown, CT in return for his services in KingPhilip's War. Samuel married Mary Willey, daughter of Isaac Willeyand his first wife, Joanne. Isaac was in Boston by 1640,Charlestown by 1644, and in New London by 1645.
