[8] He married, Mary Hadley, daughter of John and Margaret (Morton) Hadley of Mill Creek Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware. Samuel Pennock was a chair, reel and "little wheel" manufacturer. A "little wheel" is a treadle (foot operated) spinning wheel standing about three feet tall, shorter than the great wheels which are five feet or more tall. He also owned a mill. A pewterer's touch, marked S.P., with interesting pewter and maker's equipment owned traditionally by Samuel's son, Simon Pennock, pewter maker, is thought to have been used by Samuel himself.

In the biography above, Samuel is described as a "little wheel" maker. This means that he made treadle spinning wheels, which are small spinning wheels. Typically treadle wheels are about three feet tall and operated by the user pressing on a foot treadle, as opposed to great wheels, which are about five feet tall and operated by the user rotating the wheel by hand.
