Samuel F. Dale was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He removed from Northumberland County to Venango in 1800, and there engaged as deputy surveyor under General Cochran. He represented the district composed of Venango and Mercer Counties in the State Legislature from 1807 to 1813, and was lieutenant-colonel of a regiment in defending the Northern frontier in the war of 1812-14 .

In the latter year he removed to Lancaster City, where he resided until his death, having his residence in the central part of the city, fronting on Centre Square. He was an alderman of Lancaster for many years, very much interested in school and church matters, and in 1819 was appointed associate judge of Lancaster County by Governor Snyder, which position he filled with dignity and credit until his death. Judge Dale was well read, conservative in his opinions, a man of sound judgment, and characterized by a high sense of honor in all the relations of life. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Lancaster.

He married his first wife, Eliza Gundecker, in 1812, who bore him children: Ann Mary, Michael Gundecker, Samuel Futhey, William Walter, John James, Elizabeth Gundecker (wife of William Black, of St. Louis), Catherine Clementine Matilda (wife of Robert A. Evans, banker, of Lancaster), and Charles Henry Walter Dale.

His second wife, Leah, is a woman of superior intelligence and furnished most of the facts for this sketch.

Egle's Notes and Queries, Annual Volume 1898, page 230, lists Samuel as a representative of Venango County, Pennsylvania.
