Biography
Samuel was born in December of 1781, the youngest son of Nathaniel Dana and Elizabeth Payton.[1] He married Lucretia Blackmar, the eighth child and sixth daughter of Theophilous Blackmar and Frances Battey, in Providence, Rhode Island in October of 1804.[2]
The couple had one child, daughter Ann Gordon, born in 1805, shortly after Samuel's untimely death in January 1805 at the age of twenty-four.[3][4] He is buried in Swan Point Cemetery in Providence, near his parents.[5]
Ann married Dexter Blood in 1828. Lucretia did not remarry until much later in life, to Dexter's widowed father. She had no more known children.
