Individual Details

There may have been some error in who his mother was, but Samuel is named in his grandfather's estate records as a son of John, and he and his wife, Hulda, were living in Turkeyfoot Township, Somerset Co., PA. on 15 Mar 1825, when they disposed of part of his grandfather's land.
