  It is the theory of Billie Curry Steeley that this Samuel's parents are James and Rebecca Warwick Curry. Samuel purchased land in1771 in Augusta Co, VA which estimates his birth date at before 1750. By timing and name, he would fit intoamily. He sold this land in 1776 to Robert Young and moved to Hawkins Co., Tennessee. (CL-391) His will is in Hawkins County, Tennessee and it is dated February 22, 1812. "Considering the uncertainty of this mortal life and being of sound and perfect memory, blessed be Almighty God for the same, do make and publish this my last will and testament in manner and form following. (Viz) after all my legal debts are paid. First, I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Mary Curry, the third of my Estate both real and personal. I do also give and bequeath unto my two younger sons, George and Samuel Curry, the plantation whereon I now live. I do also give and bequeath unto my three daughters vs: Rebecca, Ann and Margaret Curry, three cows and calves and four sheep, a feather bed and bed clothes to each, likewise, a horse and saddle, the horse not exceeding eight years old, not under fourteen hands high. I do also give and bequeath unto John McPheeters, Arch'd Simpson, John and James Curry and Reuben Skelton, the sum of one dollar to each. And Lastly, as to all the rest and residue and remainder of my personal estate goods and chattels of what kind and nature soever, I give and bequeath the same to myh said beloved wife Mary Curry whom together with Samuel McPHeeters - Executor and Executrix of this my last will and testament' hereby revoking all former wills by me made. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty second day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand eighty hundred and twelve. Signed, sealed, published and declared.
