  • Notes 
    • Although Samuel's birth is recorded at Scituate, it says he was born in Cranston.

      Samuel's will, dated 23 Jan 1813 at Scituate, RI, mentions his wife Abigail, and the following children: Joseph, Amos, Benjamin, Cyril C., Hannah (Potter), Abigail (Smith), Sarah, & Mary (the last two under 23).

      I would think Samuel must be buried at the Rockland Lot, where his wife and some of his children are buried, along with their spouses. However, I can't find him in the cemetery database. Perhaps his stone is missing. (needs more research)
