Children[]
Tentative hypothesis is that Samuel was without children. In 1860, he is in Indiana at age 38 in a household with a man and a boy, working as an unskilled laborer with census indicating he is deaf and dumb. It would have been difficult for him to start a family then. Still, it is conceivable that he did and there be no record, due to the loss of the 1870 census.
