[980] Samuel lived in Preston for three years after his marriage. In
June, 1789, he purchased a large tract of land in Wayne Co.,
Penn., and became the first actual settler in Mr. Pleasant
township of said county. He had previously done some surveying
in that section for Mr. William Cooper of Cooperstown, NY. His
purchase was 322 acres, for which he paid L322 to Thomas Rogers
of Philadelphia, for whom Copper acted as agent. The next day,
June 30, 1789, he bought nearly 3,000 acreas of William Cooper,
who in that sale acted as agent for Thomas Franklin, William
and Andrew Craig and others. In June of 1790, he began to work
the land, and he brought his family there April 10, 1791. The
next winter he and his whole family nearly perished through
starvation and sickness, but relief came at last in the person
of a hunter, Mr. Frederick Coates, whose dogs chased a deer
near Samuel's cabin. When, in after years, Samuel kept a
tavern, the horns of that deer where nailed to the top of his
sign-post. In physical aspect Samuel Stanton was tall,
Broad-shouldered, heavy, but not corpulent. He had a light
complexion, soft blue eyes, very light-brown hair and whiskers
verging a little to the sandy shade. In temperament he was
sanguine, his imagination was lively and his intellect well
developed. His powers of ocncentration were almost too well
developed, for if absorbed in a book he became oblivious to all
the rest of the world. He was said to have read over 2,000
volumes, ocncerning the contents of which he could converse
intelligently. Socially he was free, affable, entertaining, and
serious rather than jovial; he was very inquisitive, desiring
to learn all he could, and he always had a great variety of
anecdotes to tell. In 1796 he was appointed justice of the
peace, his home then being in Northampton Co.; in 1798 Wayne
Co. was organized and he was one of the commissioners to locate
the seat of justice and build the court-house. In Oct. 1814, he
was appointed associate county judge, and held that office
until he moved away. Mr. Stanton has some aspirations towards
poetry, and he wrote more than fifty hymns, some of which had a
place in the hymn books used by the Free Communion Baptists, of
whom he was one. Near the close of his life he moved to the
western part of Pennsylvania. He had been appointed
commissioner of a State road in that section; this office have
him some business in Harrisburg. Taking his family he went to
the west branch of the Susquehanna; left them to proceed on
their way while he went to Harrisburg, expecting to meet them
later. He stopped in Bellefonte, Center Co., to visit his
friend Judge Burnside, and there suddenly died, April 15, 1816.
