SAMS Germany to New York to Ohio to Iowa
WendyLP
I am looking for any information or family who may be related to Henry SAMS born in 1752 in Germany. He married Abigail (last name unknown) in 1775 in New York. Immigration date unknown but I would like to find someone who may know it. Henry died in 1818 in Ohio. They had a son named Abraham SAMS born 1784 in New York. He married Sarah (last name unknown) in 1807. He died in 1860 I think in Pennsylvania but I am not sure of this. They had a child named Henry Calvin SAMS born in PA in 1808. He married Elizabeth GROVES in 1836 in Ohio. He died in 1865 in Ohio. They had a son named James Harrison SAMS born in Ohio in 1839. He married Eva ROLLF (spelling may be wrong) in 1876 and died in 1920 in Iowa. Their Daughter Eva Minnie SAMS born in 1879 in Iowa married William Franklin KEITH in 1893. Their son Harry KEITH born in 1902 in Iowa is my great grandfather. He married Mable WARDLOW.
I would like to find information on:
the parents of Henry SAMS and his wife.
the names of Henry and Abigails children.
and the names of the children of their descendants.

Hardcase on 2015-09-23 17:12:32Dear Wendy,
I have quite a lot of information on the family of Henry Sams. They are my family also. henry's father was Hedrick Sams, 1730 - 1753. Born in Germany. His wife was Anna Catherina, (born: Stahl).
I have never learned Abigail's maiden name but her & Henry's children were: #1. Catherine Truex (born Sams), Nov 14 1776 - Apr 12 1839. #2. William Sams, Nov 15 1778 - Mar 19 1853. #3. Henry Sams Jr., Mar 26 1781 - Nov 28 1846. #4. Abraham Sams, (My G, G, G, G, Great Grandfather), Mar 4 1784 - Feb 11 1807. #5. Susannah Oakes (born Sams), Mar 29 1786 - Aug 23 1870. #6. Andrew Sams, Mar 8 1789 - Jan 31 1833. #7. Mary "Polly" Van Arnem (born Sams), Aug 27 1791 - 1866, & #8. Amy Gleason (born Sams), Apr 23 1819 - Apr 26 1904.
I am not certain but the family name Rollf may actually be Rolufs. There are several Rolufs in my family tree. I think she was married twice, once to a "Rolufs" and later to Sams.
So, is your father Donald Dwayne or Rollie Lewis Keith?
We are obviously cousins. Actually 4th cousins, twice removed.
If this helps and I can be of more help, write me @ nikinana189@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
David E. Burden
