Samuel told family he was born in Mathenwalk, St. Joseph's Co. Indiana. In 1829 this place did not exist. He was likely born in Gibson Co. IN. A birth certificate needs to be found to verify.
Samuel had three different marriages. His third and final wife Mary E McGregor is buried here at Palmier as well as a son Joseph.
After 21 years of searching for Samuel's death certificate, I have at long last obtained it from Belleville, through the efforts of Mr. Mark Eros. Thank you Mark you've been kind and wonderful!
