When wife Emma and Samuel married, the witnesses at their wedding were Israel Rands, and Sarah Wells.

Samuel was baptized on 27 May 1805, at the Debenham Independent Church, Debenham, Suffolk, England.

Samuel, along with his wife and first born travelled from England to Gambia, Ohio in 1835. His occupation was a gardener and a bookseller.

The fact that he worked as a bookseller is borne out in the New York City Directory of 1869 that shows Samuel being recorded at 389 Broadway, house 233 W. 51st under the name Wells Samuel R. Books.
