Lew, where did you find this account? The Samuel Painter who married Esther Gilpin was a different Samuel Painter; he was born abt 1710-1720, died in 1801; according to the following two sources, his spouse was Esther Gilpin, they married 1741 and had many children. The Samuel Painter below in your email is a different Samuel; I remember several years ago there were several emails exchanged about how confusing this family is, because each generation had a Samuel, George, Hannah and Esther. There is a book by Dr. Chalfant Painter, abt. 52-54 pages, giving the history and descendency, it is named something like 'History of the Painter family ' or 'Genealogy of the Painter family'.
