(2) Thomas Miller was joint administrator with Samuel Wells of Farmington to the estate of Mary Meakins of Hartford, 3 Jan 1737/8, Hartford District Probate, abstracted in Charles W. Manwaring, ed, DIGEST OF THE EARLY CONNECTICUT PROBATE RECORDS, 3 vols. (Hartford, 1904-1906), 3:180 (FHL #974.6 P2m). Samuel Wells was the son of Sarah, wife of Thomas Meakins, by her first husband. (3) A study of all of the New England Meakins families during this period reveals no other possible parents for Sarah. Date of birth is calculated from age 83 on death rec, below.
