He survived an attack of Indians at a year and half old - "Elizabeth took her youngest child, then a year and a half, in her arms, and ran toward the fort. When a little way from the house, the savages overtook her, and killed her by a blow on the head. The child (Samuel, Jr.) was thrown on the ground, stunned, and left for dead, but recovered consciouusness, and, when found, had crept to the dead body of its mother." (History of Town of Medfield, page 481.)
