Samuel Sewell apparently delayed marriage until he was in his early thirties, perhaps because he bore the primary responsibility for his mother and the family plantation after the premature death of his older brother Henry around 1732. Whatever the reason, it was not until 17 February 1747/48 that he married Christian Stover. She is thought to have been born in Pennsylvania around 1717 and may have been the daughter of Jacob Stover and his wife Sarah Boone, but that has not been proven.[10] …

…. Christian Sewell died in 1775 and was buried in the nearby Baker family cemetery, which would be incorporated into the city cemetery of Kannapolis, North Carolina, in the late nineteenth century. Samuel Sewell soon married Elizabeth Baker, who must have been decades younger than him, and with her had four or five more children. She was likely a relative of Absalom Baker, perhaps his sister.

10. Jacob, who anglicized his surname to Stover, had been born about 1685 in Switzerland and emigrated to Philadelphia at an unknown date. He was granted land on Oley Creek in Berks County, Pennsylvania, in 1714, and around that time, married Sarah Boone, the eldest daughter of George and Mary Maugridge Boone, eight of whose children immigrated from Exeter, Devonshire, to Pennsylvania in the early eighteenth century. If Christian Stover Sewell’s parents were in fact Jacob and Sarah Boone Stover, the famous American pioneer Daniel Boone was among her first cousins. See, among other sources.
