Dear Wendy,
I have quite a lot of information on the family of Henry Sams. They are my family also. henry's father was Hedrick Sams, 1730 - 1753. Born in Germany. His wife was Anna Catherina, (born: Stahl).
I have never learned Abigail's maiden name but her & Henry's children were: #1. Catherine Truex (born Sams), Nov 14 1776 - Apr 12 1839. #2. William Sams, Nov 15 1778 - Mar 19 1853. #3. Henry Sams Jr., Mar 26 1781 - Nov 28 1846. #4. Abraham Sams, (My G, G, G, G, Great Grandfather), Mar 4 1784 - Feb 11 1807. #5. Susannah Oakes (born Sams), Mar 29 1786 - Aug 23 1870. #6. Andrew Sams, Mar 8 1789 - Jan 31 1833. #7. Mary "Polly" Van Arnem (born Sams), Aug 27 1791 - 1866, & #8. Amy Gleason (born Sams), Apr 23 1819 - Apr 26 1904.
I am not certain but the family name Rollf may actually be Rolufs. There are several Rolufs in my family tree. I think she was married twice, once to a "Rolufs" and later to Sams.
So, is your father Donald Dwayne or Rollie Lewis Keith?
We are obviously cousins. Actually 4th cousins, twice removed.
If this helps and I can be of more help, write me @ nikinana189@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
David E. Burden
