Notes
a. Note:   t have been unhappy with his stepfather. Tombstone inscription "A SOLDIER OF THE REVOLUTION". !WILL: Dated Dec. 5, 1840 lists his children with one exception or is it an exception? Many researchers believe Samuel's first born was named Hannah. If Thomas McCartney was born in 1783 then Hannah whose gravemarker documents the year of her birth as 1783 could not be the daughter of Samuel. Increasing evidence points to Hannah being born in Pennsylvania and whose father was named Thomas. See RIN 1191. !PENSION-Declaration of War Pension dated 07JUN1832 is on file with Harold and Galen Strain. Ref: Hist. of Chillicothe Presbytery. W4904 BLW #18206-160-55. !ADDRESS-After his first marriage, one researcher indicates Samuel lived in nr Abington,Union Co.(now Cherokee Co.) SC.
