Most researchers state he was born in 1771 as listed on the marriage records. However, his tombstone says that he was 75 yrs, 6 mo, 22 da. I have noted that his birth year being 1765 to agree with what is written on his stone.

The McBrayer family tell a story about their ancestor's encounter with David Crockett during one of his trips through here. They believe it was this Samuel McBrayer who was out hunting one day near his home in North Carolina. He saw a wild turkey, raised his gun and fired, but just as he fired, he heard another shot. Davy Crockett had also spotted the same turkey at the same time. Since the men could not determine whose shot had brought the bird down, they decided to split it.
