Samuel²⁸⁵² "Vesey, the sonne of William Vesey and Ellin his wife was borne the (24) (6) 1656." (Julian calendar)

Samuel's will⁴²⁶⁸ mentions his father William, his uncle Dea. Samuel Tompson, son Samuel, mother Elinor French, kinswoman Christian Allison (dau of James of New York), and sisters Hannah Greenleaf, Elnor Paine, Abigail Thayer, Mehitable Veazie & Mercy Veazie alias Ruggles. Neither his daughter Mary nor his sister Elizabeth is mentioned.

The probate of the will⁴²⁶⁸ of "Samuel Veazie late of Boston Mariner dece'd" is dated Jan 7, 1696/7. His death⁸⁴³ is listed as "Samuel Vezey dyed Decr." in the (year) 1690 section of that reference. December would appear to be the correct month, but (whatever the reason for the 1690 listing) 1696 is assumed. N.B., as the date of probate was under the Gregorian calendar, Jan 1696/7 was preceded by Dec 1696.

Samuel's will provided that, should his son Samuel die before 21 years of age, Rev Samuel Willard, teacher of the Third Church, Boston, was to receive 10 pounds, and 20 pounds was to go to the maintenance and use of the free school in Braintree. In addition, his mother Elinor French was to receive 20 pounds, and property on Atkinson's lane was to go to Christian Allison; property at the south end of Boston, an orchard and 3 acres, and all remainder to go to his sisters: Hannah Greenleaf, Elinor Paine, Abigail Thayer, Mehitable Veazie & Mercy Veazie Ruggles, equally. Executors were to be his uncle Dea. Samuel Tompson and friend Samuel Marshall.

There are few records for Mary Vergoose. However, a Mary Vergoose was born⁸⁴³ May 22, 1672, in Boston, MA, to Isaac & Mary Vergoose. A Mary "Veazey" died⁹³⁸ Mar 29, 1701, "wid., dau. Isaac Goose." Boston Inhabitants⁴⁵⁰², refcode 21754, has Isaac Vergoose/Virgoose/Goose/Goos (as his surname appears variously in records); his first wife Mary Balston, dau. of Jonathan and Mary Balston; among his children of his first wife: Mary born 1672. From that information, it is assumed that Mary Virgoose/Vergoose, wife of Samuel Veazie, was the daughter of Isaac Vergoose and Mary Balston.

Child 1. Samuel

Samuel "of Samuell and Mary Veazy" died⁸⁴³ Apr 17, 1694, in Boston, MA. As a previous child of the same name died in 1691, Hillman⁸⁰⁰ concludes the second child of the name Samuel was apparently the son of Samuel Veazie and Samuel's second wife Mary Vergoose, born after that second marriage.
