Felt Genealogy, a Record of The Descendants of George Felt of Casco Bay by John e. Morris, 1893
"We first hear of him March 23, 1687-8, at which time he joined with his
brothers George and Jonathan in a petition for confirmation of the lands given
their father by their grandmother, Jane Mackworth.
About 1690 Samuel Felt left Casco Bay and with his brothers settled in Salem,
where he remained until after 1701. He was a tailor and had a small house and
shop on the main street of Salem. Dec. 30, 1701, he added to his possessions by
a small purchase of land in the rear of his lot, which extended the same back to
'Salem Commons.' this purchase was made for the sum of four pounds of Mary
Cheever, 'Relict, widow, executrix to ye will & Testament of Peter Cheever late
of Salem,' and was a piece of 'sixteen foot and six inches broad.' the home lot
of Samuel Felt extended from Salem main street through in a northerly direction
to the commons, a distance of 'ten poles lacking three foot,' and of the width
named above, and was bounded easterly and westerly by land owned by Samuel
Hayward of Salem, to whom, April 5, 1710, he sold it, together with the small
house and shop thereon, for the sum of thirty pounds.
Sometime before 1703 Samuel Felt had become a resident of Rowley, where his
mother, who had married Thomas Nelson, was living, and was an attendant at the
First Church of that town. In the latter part of 1710 he lived in Byfield
Parish. He died in Rowley and his family removed to Enfield, Conn., whither his
sister, the wife of Josiah Wood, had already gone, and settled in the eastern
part of the town, now Somers."
