Bryan Company Call Number: 974.62/S2 H2 Page: pg. 33 John 030 Text: Samuel was the oldest of the three Harmons, who were the pioneers of Suffield. Ten years before the settlement began, the Harmons had endeavored to procure a grant for a new town. They were great hunters and trappers, as the number of beaver skins and other furs sold to Major Pynchon indicate, and were probably more familiar with the topography of the town, which was a dense wilderness, than any other white men. Samuel was unmarried. He returned to Springfield, where he died September 7, 1677, about thirty-six years of age. His Suffield lands became the property of Joseph and Nathaniel."
