Hawes, p. 25, says Samuel was married about 1678, noting that the town gave him a house lot containing six acres more or less adjoining his father's land 8 Mar 1677-8. He was in King Philip's war in the 24 June 1675 expedition. His pay amounted to £1 16s. In 1679 he is styled 'sergeant.' By 1712 he was called Captain.

His wife Rebecca survived him and his will also mentions his daughter Sarah who married Daniel Sears." (Bonnie Hubbard)
