Samuel, 1671, was called "cordwainer" at the time of the settlement of his sister's estate in 1704, and in the probate papers. The record of his death on the town books makes him "Doct. Samuel Adams." The tombstone bearing the same date makes him only "Mr." He was sometimes known as Samuel, Sen. He married in 1703 Sarah Sabin (7), who died in 1704; and he appears to have never remarried. The settlement of his estate mentions no homestead, though he had received some grants of land in the north part of the town. His son-in-law, Samuel Ellis, was appointed his administrator.
