--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Samuel SPOONER inherited from his father a large tract of land to the east of the river Acushnet in Dartmouth. He preserved his possessions intact, increasIng them from time to time by purchase, and finally transferring to is son Elnathan, free from encumbrance. The house in which he lived together with a large part of the land connected with it, remained in the family until 1855 - - altogether, a period of about two hundred years - - when it was sold by Lemuel Spooner to a Mrs. Dillingham. Samuel continued to live on the old homestead with his son Elnathan.

Samuel was a farmer. He held several minor town offices. He was a regular attendant on church worship at Acushnet.

He worshiped at the Congregational Church of Acushnet, which was formed early in the last century. Ricketson says: "The meeting-house, taken down a few years since, having been long unoccupied and in a dilapidated condition, stood upon the hill about half a mile to the eastward of the village of Acushnet. The old grave-yard, however, still remains, - one of the most ancient and interesting burial-places in the Old Colony domaine." In this cemetery were interred the remains of Elnathan, and of his wife and his grand-daughter, Elizabeth Spooner.
