Individual Notes
• It is recorded that on the second Monday in June, 1779, he was mentioned by the General Assembly of Rhode Island for exchange of prisoners with the enemy on the island of Rhode Island, since he with Joseph (1414) and Stephen Congdon (1416) were taken by the enemy. This Samuel Congdon was known as “Fat Sam,” as he was a very heavy man, as was one of his sons, George Congdon.1977, pp 79-80
