Son of John Bennion and Esther Wainwright

Married Mary Panter, 28 Sep 1867, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah

Married Agnes Thompson, 10 Aug 1879, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah

Samuel Roberts is the son of John Bennion and his first wife, Esther Wainwright. Samuel Roberts prospered in the family livestock business.

In 1876 he was called on a mission to the Central States, and served in Ohio. Following his return, he and his cousin Hyrum entered the milling and mercantile business at Taylorsville. In October of 1883 he was called on another mission, this time in Great Britain, where he served for two years.

Upon his return he served as stake president of the newly created Uintah Stake in Vernal. In 1906 he was released from the presidency and ordained to the office of Patriarch, a position which he held until his death in 1915. Like his father, he also kept a journal, but not as faithfully. It covers his daily activities more or less continuously from 1871 to 1906.
