He married Sarah "Sally" Raines in 1811 in Baldwin County, Georgia. Samuel died in November 1849 in Marion, Lauderdale County, Mississippi. Sally was born in 1794 in South Carolina. She died in 1863 in Lauderdale County, Mississippi. Samuel and Sally are probably buried at Ebenezer Cemetery in Causeyville, Lauderdale County, Mississippi. I have been there, but the cemetery is so old many of the gravestones that are left can't be read, and some can't even be found. Children of Samuel and Sarah were: 1. Aaron: Born 21 Jan 1811 Georgia.

Married Benjamin Franklin Lilley in 1854 in Texas. Died on 30 Oct 1868 in San Jacinto, Texas. My name is Rebecca Ethridge. Samuel was my direct line ancestor through his son, Josiah. Please e-mail me at rethridge272@gmail.com and I will try to find the line you are searching for. I have heard of Stephen and Mary Hawkins before when I was searching for information about the Hawkins (one of my Etheridge's married a Hawkins also). I did not realize Stephen's wife's maiden name was Etheridge though. I will do some searching, so please e-mail me so I can send you what I find.
