--from Savage's _Genealogical Dictionary_:

SAMUEL, Bristol, b. in London 1623, bred at Magdalen Coll. Oxford,

Sewall's Almanac, and bec. the sett. min. of B. 8 May 1687; preach.

brevity of his narrat. by the praise of its subject. But Baylies
follows Eliot in more sober estimate of him. Rebecca, his d. was
third
w. of John Saffin. In a letter to her h. 19 July 1710, Mather, wh.
aft. some yrs. was m. to her sis. Lydia, shows, in an extraord.
manner, exceed. never by him unless in his intemper. address to Gov.
Joseph Dudley, his harshness of admonit. and resolution to govern.
Ano. d. Catharine was w. of Henry Howell, aft. of Stephen Sewall; and
this connex. was assoc. with one of the principal causes of the many
miseries that afflict. the latter days of Cotton Mather. See 4 Mass.
Hist Coll. II. 122.

As W. H. Whitmore wrote in the 1890 _Register_, "I noted a letter dated
in 1728, from Dr. Isaac Watts to Mrs. Katherine Sewall, daughter of
John George and Lydia Lee. Therein he says, 'Mr. Peacock, who married
your eldest Aunt, was my intimate friend. Mrs. Bishop and Mrs. Wirley
were both my acquaintance.' It seems probable that Elizabeth, the
fourth daughter [of Samuel Lee], married a Bishop."

This is confirmed by the item mentioned above.
