Samuel was born February 18, 1713 in Newbury. ^[1] Samuel served in the Revolution and was a quartermaster. He was a shoemaker by trade and pursued farming and lumbering. He married Dorothy Noyes, the daughter of Joseph and Jane Dole Noyes on his twenty-third birthday in 1736. They had ten children.
