Born in Texas, Samuel's father died when he was 2 years of age. His mother later remarried to a pastor, by the name of William "Elder Billy" Rawlins.
After his stepfather's death, Samuel, his mother and step-siblings were living in the Dallas area around 1870.
In 1880, around age 21, Samuel was residing in Sherman, Grayson Co., Texas, working as a waiter in a restaurant.
By 1886, he was working as a "Tinner" (a tinsmith), in Dallas (corner of Huey and Philp), possibly following in his brother William's footsteps.
However, by the year 1898, he was residing in Sacramento, working as the proprietor of "The Misplay" at 728 K St. (This was most likely a pub, since his later records listed his occupation as that of bartender.)
The census of 1900 lists Samuel as living in San Francisco, married to wife, Lizzie, and her three children from a previous marriage: Gertie, Lillian, and Jerald Farrell.
He resided in Sacramento for several years, working as a bartender, and judging by voting records, a staunch Democrat. He passed away at the age of 56.
