Samuel and family moved from Raymond, New Hampshire, to Waterborough in September of 1764. One of the first Constables of Waterborough when the town was incorporated (March 6,1787), Samuel was the first Representative from Waterborough to the District Court of Massachusetts, 1789-91, and in 1794.
Perhaps his most noteworthy endeavor was being involved in the effort to have the Province of Maine set off as the State of Maine, which came to be in 1820. A sketch in the Lewiston, Maine, "Journal" of 27 February 1889 states: "Samuel Scribner was a great man. Among other things that he set on foot was to get the Province of Maine set off as a State from Mass. He also led in getting the County Seat of York moved from the town of York on the seacoast to what is now Alfred, Me. He also led in getting a portion of the town of Sanford set off as the town of Alfred as the York County Seat, in 1808. Samuel Scribner and two neighbors built on the original Scribner farm at Waterboro, Me., about 1790, a two-story building which was used for the alternate sittings of the York County Court until Alfred was set off as the permanent seat of the County. This building was also used for Town Meetings, for a school house, and for the First Baptist Church. An old record says, 'This house was built by Square Scribner, Square Burleigh and Square Warren.' "
Samuel enlisted July 1775 at Hollis, ME, and served 8 months in the Revolutionary War. He was about 40 years old when he enlisted and was a noble soldier.
According to his grandson, David W. Scribner, Samuel suffered a paralyzing stroke several years before his death. He lost the use of the left side of his body and was a cripple for the rest of his life (See Notes for DAVID W. SCRIBNER [50-i,160], below). Samuel is buried "in the old Scribner burying ground on the old original Scribner farm forming the Alfred line, at the head of Shaker Pond in Waterboro" (Letter from William Marshall Scribner to Abba Ella Knight in 1899). According to this letter, also buried there are Samuel's son, John, and John's son, Rowell.
