4. Anna Lydia Lessig b. 1873

Samuel took over his father's property with the grist and saw mills, which he continued to operate
into the late 1800s. In 1870 Samuel and his family were living in Ross Township, Monroe Co. In that same year Samuel served on the school board.

Samuel was also a partner in the ownership of extensive limestone quarries just west of the village of Saylorsburg. These quarries are still in operation in 1993.
