• Notes

  Samuel and Mary moved up the Salmon Falls River to the new settlement of Lebanon, York Co. ME in about 1770 where Samuel cleared land and built a log cabin. His parents and siblings located there also. Samuel is mentions in the "Soldiers of the American Revolution of Lebanon" but it seems he didn't serve.
