Notes - There are no obvious baptism records. The internet sites say 25/6, FMP says that Thomas is a yeoman, but there are no baptism details at that date. The North Tawton parish records say that Mary GIBBONS (to Samuel and Ursula) was bapt 27/6, Samuel is a yeoman. However this does not match the quoted age at death of 4m. The only Samuel I can find is bapt 19/3 to Richard and Elizabeth HILL. The baptism date matches the age at death.
The burial records give his middle name as Rudale, but it was not the normal vicar, and Ruddall matches Thomas's mother's maiden name, and so seems more likely.
One internet site says that according to information from his brother Thomas, Samuel died of whooping cough.
