Samuel Hawley was born between 1789 & 1792 in Ireland to Daniel & Elizabeth Hawley. When he was 3 or 4 they emigrated to America. At that time he was separated from his family and knew nothing of them after that. Family research suggests that the reason for this is that he was "bound out", becoming an indentured servant. In some places in America, governments could take children & even babies from their parents to be bound out if the parents could not care for them. Parents also could indenture children voluntarily.
In Oct. 1812 Samuel married Sophia Ripley in Washington Co., MD. Their children were William Milnor, Samuel R., James M., Nancy Jane, John W., David Kennedy, & Mary Ann.
Samuel had several kinds of jobs over the years. He was postmaster in Knoxville, OH; pew tax collector and church trustee for Island Creek Presbyterian Church in Jefferson Co., OH; is listed as carpenter and joiner in census; owned a "house of public entertainment" in Meigs Co., OH.
In 1819 he was indicted for selling unlawfully "to one Elisha Brooks then and there being one gill of whiskey, the same being a spirituous liquor to be drank at the place where sold he the said Samuel Hawley then and there when he so as aforesaid, sold and retailed the spirituous liquor not being a tavern keeper, contrary to the Statute in such case made and provided and against the peace and dignity of the State of Ohio. ... There fore it is considered that the said Hawley for the said offence be fined fifty cents and that he pay two Dollars and twenty five cents for the costs of prosecution ..."
Samuel bought and sold several properties, but his fortunes dwindled. There were liens against property, and he appeared in court a few times for debts owed. His wife Sophia died in 1856. The next year Samuel married Mary Tarr Wier, widow of Thomas Wier.
When Samuel died intestate in 1862, his property was auctioned to cover his debts, which it did not. His son William bought the property. Samuel's wife Mary was to receive $4 annually from the auctioned property.
He was buried at the homestead. An unidentified source writes, "In Long Bottom, there is a road called #9 road. That is where Samuel, Sophia, and I think a few children are buried. There used to be an old homestead across the road from Samuel's grave."
