The exact location of Samuel's burial has not been located. However, it is possible that he was buried in what has been given the name of the "old grave-yard" which was formerly in Dummerston. In 1873, 17 of the old gravestones were still left standing in the yard; at a later date, only 9 were left standing. It is thought that a large number of the first settlers must have been buried there. Skeletal remains have been discovered in the excavation or building processes in later years. One gravestone still remaining bears the date of 1793.
