Research Notes

DOB estimated from 1860 Census Record - attached

DOD is unknown at this time.

It is possible that Samuel married Margaret first, if she died after 1850 census and Samuel then married Sarah Anderson, since his wife is listed as Sarah in the will. Sarah / Sallie is not referred to as the mother of his mentioned children in the will and he states that the kitchen table that she brought into the marriage is to be retained by her.

These records look to be for a Samuel, with similar dates, married to Margaret
