I am a descedant of Nathaniel Eames, brother of your Samuel Eames, and I happened to notice the discussion on Samuel and Mary (Death) Eames.
I haven't researched anything on Samuel's line, but I thought I'd share what I know from the two Eames Genealogies that I am aware of. The 1887 "Genealogy of One Branch of the Descendants of the Family of Thomas Eames" by Moses Eames, lists the following entry for Samuel: "b Jan 15, 1665; m Jan 6 1680 [sic] Mary Death, she d. and he married Mary Twitchell, April 22, 1698"Since the genealogy traces descendants only through Samuel's brother Nathaniel, no further info is given on Samuel's family.
The only other Eames Genealogy I am aware of is the 1932 "Eames-Ames Genealogy" by Wilmot Spofford Ames, and it gives the following entry for Samuel: "Born Jan 15, 1664; died 1737. He was taken captive by the Indians Feb 1, 1675-76. Escaped or released. Married April 21, 1698, Patience, daughter of Joseph Twitchell." It goes on to list 10 children: Gersham, Patience, Margaret, Martha, Sarah, Jonathan (b 1711-12), Samuel, Lydia, David, and Joseph. I only have selected pages copied, but I think further descendants of Samuel are given later.
Anyway, just wanted to pass along what these two genealogies say. I thought it interesting that there was apparently a second wife for Samuel: Mary/Patience Twitchell, who may actually be, instead of Mary Death, the mother of most of Samuel's children. But I haven't done any further research; the second wife could have been proven wrong long ago - I'm not sure.
Good luck on your puzzle!
