Notes - Samuel was a member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers.) He was a tanner by trade and in some deeds he was called a weaver. In May 1706 he had leather worth 11 s, 2 d that was taken from him for not training with the military evidently because of his faith. Regarding the land he owned, on March 12, 1712 he sold eight acers to John Mowry and ten acres of Joseph Mowry. He deeded seventy seven acres to his son James on February 28, 1716; 113 acres with a house and orchard to his son Peter on September 9, 1727; and 200 acres, his current homestead, orchard in Smithfield to his son John on September 14, 1733. On October 1, 1716 his nephew Joseph chose Samuel to be his guardian.
