According to information kindly shared by Steve McDonald, an old letter exists which describes Samuel's grave as being just west of Allen McDonald's, who died in 1887.
A small stone marked "S.M.D." in the cemetery was the likely resting place.

"Madam most worthy of my admiration

of great Reputation
you possess in the nation
I have a Strong inclination
to become your relation
on your aprobation
of the declaration
I will make preparation
more to my station
to profess my admiration
and if such obligation
is worthy of observation
and I can obtain commeseration
it will be aggrandization
beyond all calculation
of the exultation of you and I"
