"Lot Sams was a native of North Carolina, but had lived in Tennessee and Kentucky. From the latter State he came to Illinois about the year 1815, with his family, on pack-horses. He first settled in what is now Shelby precinct, on the S. W. quarter of section 35, T.1N., R. 10E. where he remained five or six years, and then moved to the S.W. quarter of section 25, where he died October 24, 1863.
