What is the date of death for Samuel Samuelsson?

I am working on solidifying a potential linked relationship with one of my Family Tree DNA Family Finder Matches.  

I have found a potential common ancestor for us both in Samuel Samuelsson.  On my side I have his birthdate of 6 Feb. 1741 which matches the other information.  However that information also provides a death date of 26 May 1817.  It also has a wife listed as Maria Olofsdotter (1746 - 1814) and children Samuel, Peter, Olof and Johannes.  

Thanks!

The Samuel Samuelsson with that death date is a farmer in Roknäs. Age in death record given as 74 years.

In his last household record he is in the household of his son Samuel. There his birth year is given as 1741.

Samuel Samuelsson born 1741 is in Roknäs in the previous household record, too. With wife Maria Olofsdotter and the right kids. Also Samuel's parents-in-law live there until their death, so another case of taking over after the parents of the wife.

Soldier Samuel Svenskman married Maria Olofsdotter in Roknäs 11 November 1770.

Looks like he dropped his soldier's name when he married into a farm. I do think it's the same guy.
