  Notes	From Margery Freas, correspondent.      Samuel Tubbs, Sr., was a soldier in King Philips war and received land at Voluntown.  He was in the New London-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 Arthur R. Mandeville.      Samuel Tubbs, 1638-1696, eldest child of William Tubbs was born 1638 in Duxbury, MA.  It is assumed he left Duxbury and moved to New London, CT before his father's second marriage to Dorothy Soames.  He was in his father's will long after he had moved to New London, and some authors place him in New London by 1663.      Land disputes arose between New London and Lyme over which town should have the right to plow the same meadow.  The dispute resulted in riots between settlers of the towns.  In 1671, Samuel participated in the contest on the side of New London.      Samuel Tubbs was a farmer and lived in New London util he died in 1696.  In 1696, Samuel received a grant of land in Voluntown, CT in return for his services in King Philip's War.      Samuel married Mary Willey, daughter of Isaac Willey and his first wife, Joanne.  Isaac was in Boston by 1640, Charlestown by 1644, and in New London by 1645.  He owned considerable property in New London and in nearby Haddam.  Following the death of his first wife, he is believed to have married secon to an unknown person and third to Hannah Brooks Fox Lester.  Isaac Willey died in 1685.      Samuel and Mary Willey Tubbs had ten children, nine mentioned in his will dated March 2, 1711/12. From Don Poppe, correspondent, mailing of April 20th, 1999      Historians have speculated that he moved from Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts, to Connecticut because of the trouble between his mother and father.      He took part in th econtest between Lyme and New London which resulted in a riot between the forces of the two towns.  Samuel took the New London Side of this controversy.      According to Caulkins' "History of New London":      Transient residents (of New London), who were not grantees and householders, were the persons affected by this order ("Not to Entertane Strange Young Men"), and it aroused them to the necessity of applying for permission to remain (in New London), the roll of applicants consisted of  ... Samuel Tubbs, most of these were allowed to remain.      A farmer and shoemaker, he was a soldier in King Philip's War and for his service he received a grant of land at Voluntown, Connecticut.
