Their first child, a daughter named Dora, was born in 1858. Sometime in the mid-1850s, Sam married a woman named Margaret. Among other tasks, Sam assisted with plastering a house, pulling corn, cutting oats with scythe and cradle, and doing janitorial work by "attending the Court House." From early Andrew Johnson journal and ledger entries during the 1840s and into 1850, we know that Sam was hired out to several people around town for odd jobs, thus earning Andrew Johnson extra income or goods and services.
