Colonel Samuel Magruder was the son of Alexander(MacGregor) Magruder and his first wife. Originally, family members noted that he was born in 1654. Research by current family members indicates conflicting information for both Samuel and his wife, Sarah. Each researcher has the option to choose their own information to record.
Samuel received 500 acres of land known as "Good Luck" from his father. The property was originally located in Long Old Fields, Calvert County, Maryland. When the boundary lines changed, it was then located in Prince George's County.
He served as a Vestryman at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Baden in 1692. He was a Civil and Military officer in 1692 and 1705. He was a member of the Maryland Assembly until 1707.
Traditional records note that Samuel married Sarah Beall, daughter of Ninian Beall and Ruth Moore. (According to the linked memorial for Sarah, she was the widow of Francis Watts). Other research notes that he married Sarah Mills.

There is no documentation for the maiden name of Sarah. Serious researchers have debunked the speculation that she was the daughter of Ninian Beall, because Ninian Beall's will does NOT list any bequests to Sarah Magruder, wife of Col. Magruder, nor to any of their children.
