It is said he owned 50 or more slaves when he died.

They say that Samuel, when he first married, dreamed he had four thumbs. Later, he dreamed that one thumb fell off and his first wife died. After his second marriage, he dreamed the second thumb fell off and his second wife died. Again, he remarried and dreamed his third thumb fell off, and again, his third wife died. After the fourth dream, and his fourth thumb fell off, he died!@S7@
