There is no evidence that especial efforts were made in Wolfeborough to furnish soldiers for the army during the years 1775 and 1776, and it is probable that its complement was preserved by voluntary enlistments.
At the annual town-meeting, held March 26, 1776, the following letter from Col. Badger was read:
"Strafford ss. To all the training soldiers in the town of Wolfeborough, Greeting:
You are hereby notified and warned to meet at the dwelling house of John Sinkler, innholder in said town, on Tuesday, the twentieth day of February instant, at one of the clock in the afternoon, and then and there to make choice of military officers for your town; viz., one captain, two lieutenants, and one ensign, agreeably to the order of Congress.
Dated at Gilmanton, Feb. 6, 1776.
Joseph Badger, Colonel."
The notice for the meeting not arriving seasonably, the matter was taken up at the annual town-meeting. John Sinkler was chosen captain; Andrew Lucas, first lieutenant; Jonathan Lary, second lieutenant; and Reuben Libbey, ensign. The train-band was subsequently completely organized. Andrew Wiggin was appointed clerk; Aaron Frost, Joseph Leavitt, Lemuel Clifford, John Fullerton, sergeants; Samuel Tebbetts, Jr., Samuel Hide, Enoch Thomas, david Piper, corporals; Jonathan Hersey, drummer; and

John Lucas, fifer. The privates consisted of Richard Rust, Henry Rust, Jr., James Connor, James Lucas, Jr., William Lucas, James Lucas, 3rd, Samuel Tebbetts, Edmund Tebbetts, Ichabod Tebbetts, Joseph Lary, Ebenezer Header, Benjamin Blake, James Fullerton, William Fullerton, John Piper, James Wiggin, Jeremiah Gould, Ichabod Ham, Grafton Nutter, George Glynn, Matthew S. Parker, Joseph Keniston, Moses Wingate, William Rogers, John Wadleigh. Of these Edmund Tebbetts, William Fullerton, John Piper, James Wiggin, and Ichobod Ham were under eighteen years of age. These, with six other persons then in the army, constituted the militia company of Wolfeborough, which consisted of four commissioned officers, eight non-commissioned officers, two musicians, and thirty-one privates, making forty-five in all.
The Revolutionary War records of Wolfeborough are quite defective, and it is somewhat difficult to determine when certain events occurred, and by what organized agency they were brought about. The committee of safety, the militia company, the various committees chosen by the town, as well as the selectmen and citizens generally, took an interest in military matters. All persons who were disposed to aid the town in its struggle to meet obligations were allowed to do so with little regard for read tape. Not only were men required to act as soldiers, but means were needed to supply the necessities of those who enlisted and to raise crops for the sustenance of their families left at home.

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Samuel by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Samuel:
