Samuel Hickman was born circa 1795 at Greene Co, PA.. He was the son of Robert Hickman and Mary Magdalena Livengood. Samuel served twice in the War of 1812. First, he served as a Private in Captain William Harper's Company of Infantry, 1 Regiment Pennsylvania Militia, from October 2, 1812 to April 15, 1813. After the burning of Washington D.C. by the British, he served as a Private in Captain Levi Smith's Company under Major Mitchell's Pennsylvania Volunteers, from November 10 to December 4, 1814.

Samuel first appears in the tax rolls of Whiteley Township, Greene County, as a "singleman" in 1816, probably working and living on his parent's farm on Frosty Run. In 1819, he worked for Jesse Hammers making iron ploughs. He is listed on the annual Whiteley Twp tax lists through 1822 when he is listed as "removed" on the Whiteley Twp tax lists. He is not listed on any Greene county tax lists until the fall of 1828, when he reappears in the Whiteley Township tax.

He married Elizabeth (---) circa 1823. In the 1830 Census, he is listed adjacent to the Shriver families in Whiteley Twp. Very little is known about Samuel's wife. We know her first name was Elizabeth, based on the following notice Samuel placed in the Sept 1, 1834 Waynesburg newspaper. "NOTICE. I hereby forwarn all persons against trusting or harboring my wife Elizabeth, as she has left my bed and board without just cause or provocation; and I herefore determined no debts of her contracting after this date." According to family recollections, Elizabeth left Samuel and the children when they were still young. In 1835, Samuel moved onto the 15 acre parcel in Franklin Township, that was owned by his father. Her son, Morgan, is said to have attempted to visit her later in life, but that he was dissuaded in order "not to stir up old hurts."

Samuel's only trade was a blacksmith. He did not live a prosperous life. In the 1833 tax record, his daughter was listed as a "poor child" needing County Assistance for her schooling. When his sons grew up, he lived with them, his occupation being listed as "day laborer." In the inventory of his estate, there was only the bare essentials plus a shotgun and shoe making tools. When his father died in 1842, Samuel inherited his father's clothing and only the use of the 15 acres in Franklin Township, which was specifically willed not to Samuel, but his two sons.

In 1851 and 1856, Samuel received two military bounties of 80 acres each, for his service in the War of 1812. As was common practice, he stayed in Greene County and sold his bounties of property in Iowa and Wisconsin to others willing to travel further west. In 1854, he purchased 22 acres on the Whiteley and Jefferson Township border, adjacent to his father's old homestead. He lived there for the rest of his life.

He died circa January 1862 at Greene Co, PA; There is no record of his death, but the proceedings for his estate began on February 7, 1862. He was buried at Hickman Cemetery, Frosty Run, Greene Co, PA;
