He worked as a newspaper apprentice at a very young age in his native county. After his move to Lexington in 1838, he worked at the local Lexington Gazette and afterward, the Valley Star, a Democratic paper. He worked his way up there to editor and then the owner. He was a founding member.
The following describes Samuel's parents, both of his grandfathers (John Gillock, Sr. and Joachim Fetzer) who served in the Rev.
