Talk:Samuel Shute

death date for Samuel Shute
the death date listed in the text at the end is different from the death date in the box at the top ... it stood out to me and i couldn't verify either quickly using the references for the date in the text, so i thought i'd comment here. Gov. Shute was granted a lot of land during the time he was in New Hampshire because as new towns were being granted (Nottingham and Chester are of interest to me), the governor was routinely granted a large 500-acre or so lot in addition to the regular proprietors.

i was looking for general information about Samuel Shute because of land that was granted to him in Nottingham, New Hampshire, and trying to follow the chain-of-title, it went to Shute Shrimpton Yeamons, which is an unusual name and made me think that perhaps Saml. Shute had a daughter that named a son after her maiden name, but the wikipedia article points out that he never married.

thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddzulager (talk • contribs) 19:50, 3 March 2022 (UTC)


 * The difference in the death dates is due to changes between Julian and Gregorian calendars (15 day differential, new year beginning in March). This should probably be clarified.  Magic ♪piano 01:33, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
