Notes:

He was probably the Samuel Shattuck who was a proprietor of Petersham at its first incorporation, (Wilson's Ad-dress, pp. 15, 88.) He afterwards settled in Deerfield (Mass). His eldest son served a campaign in the French war; and on his return brought home the small pox, and gave it to both his parents. The mother and son recovered, but the father died. So far as the information contained in this volume shows, the name of Shattuck, among the descendants of Dr. Philip, his grandfather, has been preserved only in the line of this Samuel. In the other branches it appears to have become extinct. - Memorials of the Descendants of William Shattuck, by Lemuel Shattuck (1855)

Dr. Phlip Shattuck, s. of William, was b. in Watertown and d. within the present limits of Waltham, June 26, 1722 ae. 73. His place of residence was in the vicinity of the Waverley Station on the Fitchburg Railroad, easterly of Beaver Brook/ and his estate extended northerly into Cambridge. He was a physician of eminence, and for a long period a leading man in the public affairs of the town. He was often chosen moderator of town meetings, and held the offices of assessor, town treasurer, chairman of the selectmen, and very many other important stations of public trust and responsibility. The gravestone erected to his memory was standing in the Waltham burying-ground, in 1852, bearing the following inscription:--"Here Lyes Buried y Body of Doct Philip Shattuck who dece June 6 26th, 1722, in y 74th year of his Age. Blessed are the Dead that Die in the Lord." A new marble tablet has recently been erected, to which the inscription was transferred, with the following appended: "The above record was transferred from a moss-grown crumbling head-stone of slate, to one of more enduring marble, by a descendant of the 5th Generation, A.D. 1853." - Memorials of the Descendants of William Shattuck, by Lemuel Shattuck (1855)
His will, dated Jan. 29th and proved Aug. 30th, 1722, is recorded in the Middlesex Records, Vol. XVI, p. 436. He had two sons by the name of Philip living at the same time, one by each wife; and they were distinguished from each other in his will, as "Philip Shattuck of Saybrook," and "Philip Shattuck, the younger," or as "the youngest son of my present beloved wife." Accounts of two living children of the same name in one family sometimes occur in the early history of this country and in England, but his is the only instance that we have discovered in our family. - Memorials of the Descendants of William Shattuck, by Lemuel Shattuck (1855)

Notes:

William Shattuck must have emigrated to this country while in his minority. Nothing is known of him before his arrival in this country, but it is thought that he may have come from either Lancashire, Sommersetshire, or Berkshire. It is also conjectured that his father might have died on his passage over or shortly thereafter, and also that he might have been the son of widow Damaris Shattuck, who was admitted to the church in Salem in 1641. He may have been a brother of Samuel Shattuck as their ages are close and the names in their families are similar.Samuel Shattuck is believed to be a son of Damaris. He was born about 1620 and died in Salem, MA June 6, 1689, age 69. He first joined the Salem church in 1642. Both he and his mother, widow Damaris, had daughters named Damaris. William, on the other hand, did not name a daughter Damaris. - Memorials of the Descendants of William Shattuck, by Lemuel Shattuck (1855)
William's occupation was that of a weaver, and at his death he bequeathed his "loom and its appurtenances" to his son William. Agriculture also seems to have been a big part of his life, as it was for many early settlers. He was buried in the old Mount Auburn Cemetery. - Memorials of the Descendants of William Shattuck, by Lemuel Shattuck (1855)
In the first inventory of estates in Watertown, taken in 1639, William had 1) "An Homstall of one acre bounded Southwest with the Common the East with John Clough & the North with William Perry 2) Three acres of upland bounded the North with Joseph Morse the South with William Perry the East with John Clough & the West with the Common". William had the same holding in the third inventory, taken in 1646. - Watertown Records, 1894 (Lands, Grants and Possessions)
On 4 Jul 1643, he bought of his neighbor John Clough his house, garden and thirty acres of land on Common Hill. Also twenty five acres of upland, three acres of swamp land, and one-third part of twelve acres of meadow land. He also bought a farm at Stony Brook, near the present bounds of Weston and four acres in Pond Meadow which he bequeathed at his death, in equal shares, to his sons, Philip and William. He also bought a dwelling house and large farm of Edward Sanderson, but a question having arisen as to his title to some parts of it, the town voted, December 27, 1664 that "William Shattuck shall enjoy the land he bought of Sanders, provided he pay to Sanders 20 bushels of good merchantable Indian corn to spend in his house.
William Shattuck's will was dated Aug. 3 and proved Aug. 29, 1672. In it he mentioned his sons Samuel Church, Phillip Shattuck, William Shattuck, four small children, two younger sons Benjamin and Samuel, son John, and wife Susanna. His "loving friends John Coolidge, Jr. and Samuel Livermore" were to be assistants to his wife in the execution of the will, which was witnessed by John Coolidge and John Livermore. The inventory of the estate was taken August 23, 1672 by John Coolidge, John Livermore, and Thomas Hastings and amounted to 434.19.11. 200 pounds was in real property, the rest in personal property, including 103.17.7 1/2 in money. - Middlesex County Probate (First Series Docket 20168)
William Shattuck, the progenitor of most of the American families of that name, was born in England, 1622, according to his own deposition made April 3, 1661. He was the immigrant ancestor, and died in Watertown August 14, 1672, aged fifty years. He was one of the proprietors of Watertown in 1642, and his homestall there was between that of John Clough and William Perry. He added to his original holdings by purchase and grants. He bought John Clough's place July 4, 1654, including house, garden and thirty acres of land on Common Hill, south of the present site of Wellington Hill station of the Fitchburg railroad, east of Common street, leading to Watertown village.
He was a cordwainer, or shoemaker, though the genealogy gives his trade as weaver. He removed to Boston in 1652, but returned to Watertown in 1654. He acquired a large property and held a respectable position in society. One of his descendants, Lemuel Shattuck, erected a monument in 1853 over his grave at Watertown, in honor of the emigrant and his son, John Shattuck, who died in the service of his country. His will, dated August 3, proven August 29, 1672, bequeathed to his son Samuel Church; to sons John, Philip, William, Benjamin and Samuel; "to my ten younger children that are married;" to wife Susanna and to each grandchild. The widow married second Richard Norcross, who survived her. She died December 11, 1686, at Watertown. - HIstoric Homes and Places and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts, William Richard CUTTER, A. M.
He was interred in the ancient burying-ground situated on the old road leading from Cambridge to Watertown, a short distance westerly of Mount Auburn.

And of his son John Shattuck, who was drowned in Charlestown Ferry, Sept. 14, 1675, aged 28. This memorial was erected in 1853 by Lemuel Shattuck.
