Notes	The following notes were written by Pat Sherman McAllister ******************************* Samuel was a tanner.He and his brother John had visited Fairfax Co VA by 1730. Samuel returned to Bucks Co, where he married Mary Downey 25 August 1737. The couple had several children and then Samuel did something that was very contrary to Quaker ideals: he left his family and went to fight in the Spanish Wars. That was sufficient grounds for divorce, and Mary was granted a divorce. Samuel was back in Fairfax Co by 1742, when he witnessed a deed from his brother John Mead to Richard Poulney. He married Margaret 10 Mar 1746 in Fairfax Co. In Aug 1747 Margaret produced a certificate of transfer from Falls Monthly Meeting in Bucks Co, PA to Fairfax Monthly Meeting. In 1759 Samuel was disowned for disunity, at the request of Falls Monthly Meeting. In 1761 he patented land at Kittockton Mountain, then moved to Salem Co, NJ. On 25 May 1767 Margaret Mead, wife of Samuel, and her children were received at Salem Monthly Meeting on a certificate of removal from Fairfax Monthly Meeting, Samuel died at Salem NJ in 1784, leaving no will. [Another report that gave records of Quaker Monthly Meeting said he died before June 12, 1787] Also - same researcher said he married May 25 1734 - Bucks Co, PA]
