Samuel, Sr. was one of the earliest settlers of Fleming County, Kentucky. His family was among the first settlers to come to the wilderness of Kentucky around 1780. Samuel, Sr. built a large number of the public buildings and houses in Flemingsburg. Many of which still stand till this very day. These houses have received the attention of the "Architectural History of Fleming County". Some of these buildings are: the Presbyterian Church, Suit House, The Old Courthouse, and the Dudley House, and there were many more. The Presbyterian Church that was built by Samuel, Sr. in 1819, still has an active congregation. The quality of the all brick construction is still in good condition, and even the original pews are still in use today.
