     Sometime around 1850, Samuel and his wife, Sarah, and their four unmarried daughters, Hannah (52), Mary Mitchell (50), Beulah (46), and Sarah (40). relocated from their former residence at 620 College Avenue to a new house at 523 Oakley Road. The new house was located in the northeast section of their farm, adjacent to the meetinghouse and near Albert G. Preston's home, as well as Lindley M. Moore, superintendent, and teacher for Haverford 1858 through 1850, as per the August 4, 1850 Census.

​

     The family's decision to move to 523 Oakley Road, next to the meetinghouse, was understandable considering that Samuel and Sarah were getting older, 78 and 80, respectively. Furthermore, their four unmarried daughters were Hannah (52), Mary Mitchell (50), Beulah (46), and Sarah (40).
