From Ye Oldyn Tyme article, Sam may have been born Aug 14 1765. But Tombstone would indicate Aug 25 1767.Married Sarah Anderson June 3 1794 Woodford County Kentucky, fought in the Battle of Fallen Timbers Aug 20 1794, with the Kentucky Mounted Volunteers, Price's Battalion, with General Anthony Wayne. On this action helped build Ft. Wayne Indiana. Upon return from this action to Woodford county KY., he moved to Shelby County Kentucky by 1795, where son Thomas was born. Moved to the Clark Grant in what is now Clark County Indiana in 1801 after buying land there and moved to Bartholomew County in 1820 when he and Thomas bought several hundred acres near what is now Columbus. Samuel left home from Maryland home, when is not known. But we know he was not with his father, John James Mounts, when he moved to Washington County Pennsylvania around 1773, during the Revolutionary War, as he was not mentioned in any records or biographies about Mounts' from Washington county. We know from a letter from the Washington County Mounts line that Samuel was known and talked about. He would have been too young to go to Kentucky at this time 1777, so it is possible he was living with his mother's parents in Maryland and although the Name Briscoe has been used for his mother, no records have been produced to show that John James Mounts first wife's maiden name was Briscoe.
