Samson was the son of immigrant Philip Sherman and Sarah Odding of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He was married in Portsmouth 4 March 1674/5 to Isabel Tripp, the daughter of John Tripp and Mary Paine of Portsmouth. Samson's will was dated 5 Nov 1716, and proved at Portsmouth 14 July 1718, naming sons Philip, Abiel, and Job, and daughters Sarah Chase, Alice Tibbits, and Isabel Baker. Of Samson's surviving sons, Philip and Job remained in Portsmouth, RI, while Abiel moved across the Narragansett Bay to S. Kingstown. All three of his daughters married men from Bristol County, Mass.
