HARRY GILMORE SAMSON
HARRY GILMORE SAMSON is a descendant of one of the oldest Puritan families of New England, as his emigrant ancestor, Abraham Samson, landed at Ply- mouth, Massachusetts, in 1629. The family is an old English one and is men- tioned in the "Life and letters of John Winthrop" in this manner: "The Sam- sons were an ancient and knightly family of Samson's Hall in Kersey, near Groton in Suffolk, England". The locality mentioned was Governor Winthrop's native county. Mr. Samson's Revolutionary ancestor was Sergeant Ichabod Samson, of the Plymouth county, Massachusetts regiment. The family in America descend from Henry and Abraham Samson, of Duxbury, Massachu- setts. There is no positive proof that they were brothers but the presumption is very strong that they were. Henry came over in the "Mayflower", but was too young a lad to sign the compact.
ABRAHAM SAMSON came with the Leyden Colony either in 1629 or with the later comers of 1635. He was one of the original sixty-four grantees of the town of Bridgewater, Massachusetts. He was surveyor of highways in 1648 and constable in 1653. He was made a freeman of Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1654. He was living in 1686, after which date he does not appear in the records. His wife was a daughter of Lieutenant Samuel Nash, of the Dux- bury militia, sheriff and chief marshal for twenty years. The children of Abra- ham Samson were: I. Samuel, born in 1646, see forward. 2. George, born in Duxbury, in 1655, died July 26, 1739. His wife was Elizabeth, one of the first members of the Plymouth church, they had ten children. 3. Abraham, born 1658, in Duxbury, died in 1727. His wife was Sarah, daughter of Alex- ander and Sarah (Alden) Standish; they had seven children. 4. Isaac, born in Duxbury, 1660, died September 3, 1726. He married Lydia Standish, a sister of Sarah, the wife of Abraham Samson; they had eight children.
SAMUEL SAMSON, son of Abraham Samson, was born in Duxbury, Massa- chusetts, in 1646, and met his death during King Philip's War, 1675-78. He married Esther, (probably the daughter of De La Noye or Delano). An inven- tory of his estate made June 28, 1678, mentions two sons, Samuel and Ichabod. This is probably very near the correct date of his death.
SAMUEL SAMSON, son of Samuel Samson, was born in Duxbury, Massachu- setts, in 1670. His will is dated August 31, 1744, and was proved September 20, 1744. This approximates the date of his death. In 1712 he is styled in a deed for land he had purchased, as being of Middleborough. He was a mem- ber of the First Church and one of fifty "Proprietors" or purchasers of the First Burying Ground. His wife was Mercy Eddy, of Middleborough, daugh- ter of Obadiah and granddaughter of Samuel Eddy, who came to the Plymouth Colony from England in 1630. His will names three sons, Obadiah, Gershom and Ichabod, two daughters, Esther Borden and Mary Fuller, and a grand- daughter Ruth.
ICHABOD SAMSON, son of Samuel and Mercy (Eddy) Samson, was born Feb-

ICHABOD SAMSON, son of Ichabod and Mercy (Savory) Samson, was born in Plymouth, Massachusetts, April 12, 1742, died July 7, 1813, and is buried at Wareham. He is on record as having rendered military service on several dif- ferent occasions. He responded to an "Alarm", December 7, 1776, and marched with David Nye's company (Fourteenth), Forty-fifth Plymouth County Regi- ment in defense of Elizabeth Farms. He is borne on the muster-roll of the company as sergeant and was in service three days. On December 10, 1776, with the same company and rank, he marched on the Rhode Island Expedition ; in service on the occasion eleven days. On September 5, 1778, he responded to an "Alarm" with Captain Nye's company (Second Wareham) Colonel Spraut's regiment, and marched to Dartmouth. He was sergeant of the company and served seven days. He was again in service with the same command later in September, 1778. His last service was with Captain David Nye's company, Plymouth County Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel White. He enlisted July 30, 1780, and was discharged August 8, 1780, making his service nine days (Roll sworn to at Wareham, Massachusetts).

SAMUEL SAMSON, son of Sergeant Ichabod and Ruth (Burgess) Samson, was born in Wareham, Massachusetts, April 18, 1784, died February 2, 1871. He removed to Saratoga, New York, where on November 15, 1807, he married Nancy, daughter of Nicholas and Mary (Maxon) Tabor. Nancy Tabor was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, May 7, 1784, died in the town of Wes- tern, state of New York, August 29, 1853. Samuel and family removed to Western in 1815 and later to a settlement of Friends called Quaker Hill, six miles northwest of Western. Samuel was a member of the Society of Friends. He and his wife are buried in the churchyard at Western. The children of Samuel and Nancy (Tabor) Samson are: I. Sanford, born at Saratoga, New York, January 18, 1809; married Ruby Ann Savory. 2.

JONATHAN MAXON SAMSON, son of Samuel and Nancy (Tabor) Samson, was born in Saratoga, New York, September 29, 1810, died in Pittsburgh, Pennsyl- vania, January 3, 1893. He removed with his parents to town of Western, New York, in 1815. He married, September 13, 1837, Elizabeth Draper, who died August 6, 1867. They removed to Pulaski, New York, where Jonathan followed the trade of a painter. Children : Hudson, see forward; Dexter, resident of Los Angeles, California; Elizabeth, died in infancy.
HUDSON SAMSON, son of Jonathan M. and Elizabeth (Draper) Samson, was born in Pulaski, Oswego county, New York, April 29, 1840, died in Pittsburgh, July 14, 1903. His early life was spent in Pulaski, where he received his educa- tion. In 1859 he settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and was in active business there until his death. He was in the undertaking business and by nature and training was most admirably adapted to his work. For eight years he was in partnership with Robert Fairman, the firm name being Fairman & Samson. The partnership was terminated by Mr. Samson's purchase of his partner's in- terest. In 1884 he erected a fine building for his business purposes on Sixth avenue and one year later a crematory was built. This method of disposing of the mortal remains of friends met with public approval and was well patron- ized. In the latter years of his life, Mr. Samson delegated many of his busi- ness cares to his son, Henry G., and spent a great deal of time in travel. He had many business and official interests outside that of funeral director. He had large real estate holdings in Pittsburgh, Allegheny and the East End. The tract on which the Carnegie Technical school stands was known as the "Sam -. son tract". He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and presi dent of the National City Evangelization Union of that denomination. He was a member of the official board of the Oakland Church and trustee of the Dea- coness' Home. He was president of the Valley Camp Meeting Association from its organization, treasurer of the Allegheny County Anti-Saloon League, trus- tee of Allegheny College, Beaver College, the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion and the Pittsburgh Free Dispensary. For a number of years his business associates testified to his worth by electing him president of both their National and State Funeral Director's Associations. He was a Free Mason of both the York and Scottish rites, having all the degrees up to and including the thirty- second. His horizon was not a contracted one, but business, education, church and fraternity interests all appealed to his broad, charitable disposition. Polit- ical life alone seemed to have no interest for him, yet he was not unmindful of his duties as a citizen. He was exceedingly liberal to educational institutions and to struggling churches, to the latter particularly so, in aiding to erect houses of worship. He is widely known for his charity and philanthropy, and highly esteemed by his business associates, both in Pittsburgh and abroad. Hudson Samson married, February 4, 1862, Susan Gilmore, born in Delhi, New York, June 26, 1837, daughter of James H. and Maria (Trowbridge) Gilmore, of Utica, New York. There were six children of this marriage, of whom but one survives :
