(Abt 1715 - Bef 5 Jun 1751)

Notes:
He is not given as a minor in his father's will. The first menton of Samuel (as an adult) in the probate records was as a witness to the 21 Nov 1733 will of James Greenfield, Prince George County. After 1735, he appears in the probate documents of St Mary's County and he is loosely associated with the Greenfield family, and the Gardiner family of his half-brother's, James', wife. His wife may have been a member of the Greenfield family. With both the Greenfield and Gardiner families, he was witness to their wills or mentioned in their probate documents.
