This is the only one that includes correct age-range counts for all of Samuel's family as we currently know them, and the location in Orange County is pertinent: that is where Samuel's youngest son, William, was born in 1817, and in August 1828 Samuel sold all of his remaining land in Indiana, which was in Orange County, to his brother, James.
