He was recorded in the 1830 census of Windham Township, Luzerne Co., PA, page 481. He was recorded in the 1840 census as "Simon".

Jabez Hayden indicated that Samuel and Dorcas divorced about 1818 and he remarried before 1820. Unless he divorced and remarried Dorcas, this conflicts with the census and probate records.

On March 31, 1868, Dorcas filed with the court in Wyoming County a renunciation of her right to act as administratrix in her deceased son's (Cicero) estate and requested that Lorenzo K. Smith act in her stead.
