On South Main Street in Wallingford is the home of Reverend Samuel Street, built in 1673. Samuel Street was the town’s first minister and one of its first settlers, being one of the original 39 signers of the 1668 Wallingford Agreement, or original covenant of the first Wallingford planters. Rev. Street‘s daughter, Mary, married John Hall. Their son, Lyman Hall, Street‘s great-grandson, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Rev. Street, who died at age 82 in 1717, served as minister for 45 years.

    Reverend Samuel Street was the father of another Samuel Street who was the father of Mary Hall who married John Hall. That is what my sources say at least.

    The others are right about Lyman Hall being a great grandson. Great piece otherwise

    I edited the text to read “great-grandson.”
