...born in 1782. He held 1500 acres of land on the river, the most of any of William's sons, but they were all fairly prosperous for the region. On 15 Apr 1823, he bought 50 acres at Tug Fork, Sandy River; A day later, on 16 Apr 1823, another 100 acres at Tug Fork (Source: THE KENTUCKY LAND GRANTS Volume 1 Part 1 CHAPTER VI, pages 651-656); On 31 Jan 1839, 100 acres of Mud Lick; On 10 Sept. 1839, 50 acres at Blackberry Fork; On 5 Feb 1849, 1,200 acres at Tug Fork, Big Sandy River; On 10 Feb 1850, 50 acres at Pond Creek.

Samuel married ELIZABETH DAVIS on 12 Aug 1802 in Tazewell County, Virginia. Samuel and Elizabeth lived in that portion of Floyd County, Kentucky, which later became Pike County, near William in the Stringtown area. He appears with William in the 1810 census (above), He would live in the area for the next forty years (1820 Census; 1830 Census; 1840 Census), and have an astounding eighteen children. Samuel married a second time, to the widow NANCY MAYNARD on 12 Sep 1841. They're listed on the 1850 census together, but it's doubtful that they had any children. He's buried in the McCoy cemetery at Stringtown (Note: His will is on record in Pike County—Will Book A, p.42: 6 Jul 1855).
