He married ESTHER NORTON about 1682 in Edgartown, Dukes, Massachusetts. She was born about 1664, daughter of NICHOLAS NORTON and ELIZABETH [UNKNOWN]. (Isaac?)

He first lived in Boston and removed to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts in 1679. He was believed to be "lost at sea" about 1692.

One Huxford researcher has found information in England that leads her to believe that he did not die at sea. From documentation found in England, she believes that on a return trip to England, Samuel got tied up in court proceedings which delayed his return. When he did return, his wife, thinking he had perished at sea, had remarried to JONATHAN DUNHAM. Perhaps to avoid problems, he returned to England and apparently married again also and had, at least, a daughter in England. No further can be found about him. She died about 1724 in Edgartown, Massachusetts.
