Samuel and his family were at Falmouth when it was burned at the beginning of the Revolution. Fortunately, the family property survived, but Falmouth was crippled.
By the end of the war, most of Samuel's children had moved away from Falmouth and settled along both sides of the Androscoggin River in Lisbon, Lewiston, Danville, and Durham.
Samuel Proctor, 1719-1801, died in Fairhaven, Bristol, Massachusetts. He is buried at Acushnet Cemetery, Acushnet, Massachusetts, with his first wife, Elizabeth (d. 1780). His second wife, Susanna Alden, 1745-1824 (m. 1781), was the daughter of John Alden, 1718-1821 and Lydia Lazell. She is buried with family in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. [1][2]

DNA Connections
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:
