(His farm is now owned by David Davis, son of Benjamin.) His name is frequently seen on all the early church transactions book; was one of the first Elders in the Monthly Meeting and traveled a good deal in its service in his younger days. His wife Mary was sister to Dr. Mote and brothers and third daughter of David and Dorcas Mote mentioned in the forepart of this article. They had eleven children, seven sons and four daughters, which all grew to maturity and were married and several had large families, only one of which (a son) is living at this writing, at an advanced age. He died (Samuel Sr.) about Christmas in 1836 in the eighty-second year of his age, she in December, also in the year 1847, in her eighty-eighth year -- and buried beside or near her husband.
A little south by west is the grave of her daughter Dorcas Davis, the wife of Samuel Davis, who died in May, 1841 of hepatitis in the fifty-seventh year of her age."
