Samuel, son of William and Rebecca Butter, was a resident of Goshen, now Wilmington, and took an early interest in the welfare of that part of Woburn, being one of the petitioners for the adjustment of church matters in 1725, and July 18, 1728, he was one of the petitioners for a division of the town of Woburn. He carried on the business of a saw-mill in connection with farming, and acquired during his life a large part of timbered lands, especially the cedar swamps, Lebanon and Ladder Pole. In 1743 he purchased the interest of Mr. James Baldwin in lands and saw-mill. He lived in the house ... known as the Garrison House. Samuel, with his brother William, were executors of his father’s estate.
