Samuel Scribner ³

  General Notes:

Hannah was a cousin to Daniel Webster.
Samuel and Hannah were admitted to membership in Kingston First Church 18 April 1742 ("Kingston First Church Records," NHGR, 14 [op. cit.], 119).

Samuel was the fifth settler of Salisbury, Merrimack, NH. His earliest military service was in taking part in the 1748 expedition to Louisbourg Fortress, Cape Breton, Canada. He was captured by Indians on 16 August 1754 and taken into captivity (and sold into slavery) in Canada for 2 years (for more of the story,see Mackenzie, COLONIAL FAMILIES [op. cit.], 450-451). On 26 February 1759, Samuel submitted a Petition to the Kingston Town leaders requesting assistance for himself and his family, due to the fact that his captivity had left him and his family destitute. The Petition was dismissed (Isaac W. Hammond [ed.], DOCUMENTS RELATING TO TOWNS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, Volume 13, Part 1 [Concord, NH: Parsons B. Cogswell, State Printer, 1884], 383).
Samuel (a man of sturdy, vigorous and noble character) was a Private in Capt. Nathan Sanborn's Company in the Second (Tash's) Regiment of New Hampshire Volunteers, joining 20 September 1776 (COMPILED SERVICE RECORDS OF SOLDIERS WHO SERVED IN THE AMERICAN ARMY DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, NARA Micrcopy M881, Roll 523).

Samuel married Hannah Webster, daughter of Webster and Unknown, on 4 Nov 1740 in Kingston, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA.^{1 2} (Hannah Webster was born in 1721 in Kingston, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA ^{2 6} and died on 17 Sep 1807 in Andover, Merrimack, New Hampshire ⁷.)
