Great-grandfather Samuel.

Do you have a great-grandfather named Samuel? I have four. My 8th great-grandfather was part of the Pilgrim migration of the 15th century.

Samuel was a Hebrew name that meant "son of God" or "God has heard". Samuel was the last of the Biblical Judges. He anointed Saul to be King and later anointed David to be King. The name Samuel was used a lot during  the Reformation.

I have many Munson cousins named Samuel. I had Christian ancestors.
