    Biography
    • Samuel Mifflin (originally Samuel Mifflin Francis) was the son of Colonel Turbutt Francis (born June 24, 1740) and Sarah Mifflin (married, in Philadelphia, on September 26, 1770), and the grandson of Tench Francis and Elizabeth Turbutt, and of Colonel Samuel Mifflin (died, in Reading, Pa., on May 14, 1781), who, in 1775, was Captain of an Association Battery Company, and Rebecca Edgehill.

      He was born in Philadelphia, on June 13, 1776, and subsequently assumed the name of Mifflin in compliance with the will of his maternal grandfather, whereby he inherited the plantation "Walnut Hill."

      On March 21, 1800, when 24 years old, he was married, in Christ Church, to Elizabeth, daughter of Manuel E. Davis. He was a cousin of Thomas Willing Francis, and became a member and an officer of the Second City Troop. On April 29, 1811, he was elected Second Major of the First Regiment of Pennsylvania Cavalry. He died in Philadelphia, on March 24, 1829, aged 53 years, and was buried in St. Peter's churchyard. He was survived by his wife, his sons - Francis, Barry, Charles (born July 19, 1805; married on January 1, 1835, to Mary Crowinshield; died in Boston, December 9, 1875), and Henry - and his daughters - Sophia (married Edward Gardiner, of Boston), Virginia, Eugenia (married James Newman), Fanny, and Matilda Francis (married, in St. Peter's Church, on July 19, 1845, to Thomas G. Van Buren). His will was witnessed by John Hare Powel.
