Samuel, the seventh son, after coming to manhood, settled in Sharon, on part of the old Jackson patent, where he was born; and for several years lived near and owned, with his younger brother Jacob, the old mill property of his father. The old house that he built for himself, and lived in a great many years, stood some fifteen or twenty rods north-west of the old dam, and was standing the last time I was there. When they disposed of the old mill property, it passed into the hands of Captain James Reed. He moved to the Royal Grant, now Fairfield, Herkimer county, N.Y., where he died, but at what time I do not know.

He did not live to be very old: he was some few months younger than my father, and died some years before him. My father made him a visit in 1801, and the next thing we heard, a few years after, he was dead. He left children, but of them I know nothing.
