Samuel Updegraff was born in 1744 at York County, Province of Pennsylvania, America. He was the son of Herman Updegraff and Mary Ann Louden. Samuel Updegraff married Mary Hussey circa 1765. Samuel Updegraff died in 1795 at York County, Province of Pennsylvania, America, at age 51 years.
York County, PA Court - Feburary 3rd 1759 - Samuel Updegraff, minor, a son of Herman Updegraff of Yorktown, deceased, aged 14 on September 15th last, asks that he be bound as an apprentice to Ludwig Heedly, a Tailor of Yorktown, PA. In 1758, a Jseph Updegraff applied to the court, as guardian for Samuel, for an apprenticeship for Samuel, aged 14 years.
This could be the Samuel that was found on the 1779 tax list for York County, PA as a breechmaker? And could he also be the Samuel in the 1790 Census - York County, PA? And from Western PA General Society Volume 9 #4, page 198 - May 1983: Non-reidents mentioned in Washington County, PA. Deeds before 1800 excluding adjacent counties: Samuel Updegraff of York County, PA from Joseph Scott of Washington, PA - D.B. C, page 124R - 1786 - for land in Robinson Township. And there is a Samuel on the 1783 Tax List York County, PA - a labelmaker.
DAR - Private 1st class - PA, in Captain Christopher Lowman's Company on a return of the 3rd Battalion, commanded by Col. Jamison and Lt. Col. Albright and Major William Scott, list updated 1780 - Reference: page 490 Volume 2 - PA Archives, 6th Series and page 281 Volume 1 - History of York County, PA by Prowell.
Samuel left a will in York County, PA - made April 23, 1795, probably June 12, 1798 that names his wife Mary and son-in-law Caleb Kirk, husband of Lydia. This leads one to believe that he had no other children. A descendant, Donald Horton contriuted his family data.
Year of death could be 1798?
