Samuel received a grant of 10 acres of land in Wenham, and land to set his house on, from his father and mother on 3 April 1675. He was a land surveyor in 1676.6

Samuel was made a freeman in Wenham 3 October 1680, removed to Salem Village (now Danvers) in 1682. In 1697, he removed to Windham Centre, CT where he died.7
