Joseph was born in 1809. He is the son of William Sams and Sarah Palmer.
Not actually clear what happened to Joseph. A 19 year old Joseph Sams was buried in April 1826 at Long Sutton, which might be him. A Joseph Sams married Rhoda Cox in May 1833 and that might be him. Census records show a Joseph Sams of about the right age married to a Mary and living in Knole in 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871 and that might be him.
