In 1708, Samuel Silver was a "snow-shoe man" at Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts, in defense against French and Indian attack. He was a soldier in the expedition to Canada in 1690 and, as such, in 1739 was granted a share in the township of Bakerstown, along with 59 other men from Amesbury, Haverhill, Newbury and Rowley. The township was not settled under this grant, but was in 1749, probably after Samuel had died. Originally called Stevenstown, it later became Salisbury, N.H.⁵
