    Samuel is believed to be a cousin of Robert and William, who came to the colonies in about 1635. While there is no clear definition as to where they originally came from, it is known that they were all English. They are believed to come from the area of Suffolk County, and that there is a connection to this man, John Eldred, who descended from the last Saxon king. "1597 Purchase of Great Saxham. In 1597 he [John Eldred] bought the manor of Great Saxham. He lived primarily in London, but his son John apparently stayed continuously in Great Saxham at least during the 1620s." "He was now a wealthy man, and, having capital at his disposal, accumulated a large fortune. In 1597 he bought the manor of Great Saxham in Suffolk, and built a large house which came to be popularly known as 'Nutmeg Hall.' He continued, however, to reside chiefly in London, engaged in business. When the East India Company was started, he was a large subscriber, was a member of the first court of directors, and for many years took a prominent part in its affairs. He was also, during the reign of James I, a contractor and commissioner for the sale of lands, a farmer of customs, and the holder of a patent for the pre-emption of tin."
