Biography

Samuel was born about 1770. He passed away about 1835.

He might have been the Samuel Hourin named in 1781 as a Private 1st Class, 3rd Company, 6th Battalion, Chester County Militia. [Pennsylvania Archives.] If so, he was probably about 16 years old in 1781.

He does not appear on the 1810 census of Virginia and might have already left the area, although in 1811 he joined with his brothers and brothers-in-law in conveying an 80-acre tract from his father's estate in Botetourt County to his brother Jacob. [Botetourt Co. Deed Bk. 10:529-531.] He moved to Ohio and Indiana before 1820.

He lived in Butler County, Ohio, where the mortgage on his land was held by Celedon Symmes. Symmes was a judge who named Hamilton County (Butler came out of it) after Alexander Hamilton, then Secretary of the Treasury and the grantee of the Miami Purchase. So he owned a big block of land from which he was selling homesteads.

There is a Fincastle in Brown County, Ohio, apparently named for Fincastle, Virginia, the earlier home of the Howrys. Many of Samuel's descendants settled in Blackhawk County, Iowa and Gentry County, Missouri.
