581. Died | Captain | SIMEON SAMSON | June 22 A. D. 1789 | Aged | fifty three | years.
O ye whofe check the tear of pity ftains, Draw near with pious reverence & attend Here lie the loving Hufband's dear remains The tender Father & the generous Friend The dauntless heart yet touch'd at human woe A Friend to man to vice alone a foc.
Capt. SIMEON SAMPSON was the son of Peleg and Mary (Ring) Sampson; born in Kingston, Mass, August, 1736. In early life he became a mariner, and was employed in the merchant service from Plymouth. In the year 1762, Mr. Sampson was taken prisoner by the French, in a vessel belonging to Goodwin & Warren, which was redeemed by the captain for a large sum of money, and Mr. Sampson was left as a hostage for the payment of the ransom. From this imprisonment he escaped by assuming the dress of a female, and was soon restored to his family in Plymouth.
At the commencement of the revolutionary war, when a marine force was deemed necessary to protect our commerce from the depredations of the British cruisers, he was honored by the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts with the appointment of the first naval captain in the service of the country. He immediately took command of the brig Independence, belonging to the colony, and which was built at Kingston, under his direction. In this vessel he was eminently successful, and in one cruise captured and sent in five prizes, among which was the Roebuck, Captain White, in the autumn of the year 1776. Immediately after this, he himself was captured by Capt. Dawson, of distinguished memory in these seas. Capt. Sampson did not surrender, until an engagement of a character as severe and bloody as perhaps is recorded in the annals of naval warfare. The skill and intrepidity manifested by him was applauded even by his enemies. Had he been sustained by all his men, he would undoubtedly have been the conqueror, rather than the vanquished. It is said in the gazette of that period, that he was driven to the awful necessity of running through the body of two or three of his men, who abandoned their guns in the most trying moment of the conflict. One of these victims was his third lieutenant. Soon after his return from captivity, which was at Fort Cumberland, near Halifax, he was appointed commander of the brig Hazard, a public vessel belonging to the state. In this vessel he likewise took several prizes, among which was the ship Live Oak. In 1779 he was selected to the command of the packet ship Mercury, built at Plymouth, by Mr. John Peck, for Congress. She was employed to carry despatches to our ministers in France. In this ship he returned from Nantz during the severe winter of 17So. Soon after which, he was promoted to the command of the Mars, a large ship, likewise belong- ing to the state, and in this vessel he was employed in the most responsible trust, in carrying despatches, and in one cruise carried out one of our ministers to Europe. The British flag ship Trial was captured by him while in the Warren. At the close of the war, he retired, like most of the faithful servants of our country, with a very scanty estate, and a numerous family dependent upon him for support.
In 1788, Capt. Sampson disposed of his mansion in Middle street, Plymouth, and purchased a farm in Plympton, where he terminated his earthly career by an apoplexy, June 22d, 1789, at the age of 53 years. He was buried upon his own farm, and after- wards his body was removed to the burying hill in Plymouth, where his grave is marked as above.
Few naval officers stood higher in public estimation, and few citizens were more respected for domestic virtues, hospitality, and generous friendship. He married Deborah, daughter of Seth Cushing of Hingham, Mass., who survived him, and died in Homer, N. Y., in 1830, at the age of 90 years. He had twelve children, seven of whom died young, and five of whom married.

'Tis Heaven's irrevocable Decree, That the great, the good, the pious fhall fall, In the dark Grave undiftinguifhd to lic, Till the laft Trumpet rends the asure fky! When the Virtuous immortal will rife To Glory and joys 'bove the ftarry fkies! The Vicious to pain, difhonour, contempt; In realms below the fplendid Firmament!
Rev. JOHN COTTON, son of Rev. Josiah and Hannah (Sturtevant) Cotton, born April 5, 1712; graduated at Harvard College 1730; ordained minister at Halifax, Mass., October 1736. In 1756, owing to a failing voice he requested a dismission which was granted. He succeeded his father as Register of Deeds, which office he held till his death, November 4, 1789,. He was considered an able theologian, and much beloved as a pastor and preacher. He was the author of the valuable Account of Plymouth Church, appended to Rev. Chandler Robbins' ordination sermon in 1760, which was afterward republished by the Massachusetts Historical Society in volume 4 of their collections. He also published several occasional sermons, includ- ing among them seasonable warnings to the churches of New England, and tracts on "Infant Baptism." IIe was chosen delegate to the Convention for revising a Con- stitution for the Commonwealth in 1780, and was one of the committee for Plymouth county to draft the constitution. He left several childrer, among whom was Rev. Josiah Cotton, minister at Wareham, Mass., who became a magistrate, and clerk of the Court for Plymouth county, and died April 19, 1819, leaving a son who became a physician in Ohio, and a daughter who married Isaac Lothrop Hedge Esq. of Ply- mouth. His other sons were Rosseter, who for several years was Register of Deeds in Plymouth. Rev. Ward Cotton, of Boylston, Mass., was his son. Another son, John, was lost at sea in 1800.
