Samuel Stone

Samuel Stone

Samuel Stone (July 18, 1602 – 20 July 1663) was a Puritan Minister.

Stone was born in Hertford, England. He was ordained on July 8, 1626 at Peterborough and a year later became curate at Sisted, Essex. He arrived in Boston in 1633, with his friend, Thomas Hooker.

In 1636, Stone and Hooker led their congregation from New Towne (now Cambridge, Massachusetts) and established a new colony at House of Hope (a Dutch fort and trading post), making peace with the local Indians and renaming the town they called Saukiog as Hartford, after Stone's birthplace - they thus became the town's founding fathers.
