    Notes 
    • Samuel settled with his family in Smithfield where he entered business
      as a wheelwright. In 1834 they left Pennsylvania for the west, and settled on
      a farm in the new State of Iowa. They removed to Galesburg, Illinois where he
      died. He found the farm in Iowa distasteful, and possessing mechanical genius
      he again took up his tools becoming a skillful machinest. Intellectual,
      generous, upright and of a religious nature, he ever commanded the respect of
      those who knew him. He invented a steam plow.
