Wysox, Bradford County, Pennsylvania in 1795 and settled 1st on the
Piollet flats, where he lived 2 years.
Samuel was a respected and well known hunter. The abundance of game in the Pennsylvania
wilderness convinced him to purchase land in the nearby hills, settling the
farm subsequently owned by J. F. Patterson.
He erected a log house on what came to be known as Shores Hill and moved
in with his family. In the ensuing years
he harvested innumerable deer, bear, panthers, and other wild animals from the
wilderness, generally keeping his larder full of venison by hunting before
breakfast. The remainder of the work day
