A petition was written to the army from his brother Moses to release him early as he, Moses was injured, and could not bring in the crops without Samuel's help. He was released.

In 1693, Samuel and his brother Josiah moved to Plainfield, Connecticut, 'the part afterward Canterb., when there was but one white or English family in that town. ... In 1698 Josiah, Samuel, and others were made trustees of lands west of the Quinnebaug by Owaneco, chief of the Mahicanni, or Mohegans. ... Plainfield was divided Oct., 1703, and the west side named Canterbury...' [7]

'Samuel and Josiah were the first Clevelands who left Woburn and settled in Canterbury. About 1699 they were joined by their brothers, Isaac and Edward.' [8]
