Born probably at Frankfort-on-Main, Germany. With his brother, MOSES, he came to London (he had property in Lambeth) and settled at Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. There they were befriended by a Phillips, whose surname they adopted, and were baptized (Moses on 23 June 1755) at S. Mary's church, Haverfordwest. Samuel was one of the founders of the Haverfordwest Bank and the Milford Bank. He married Dorothy Hood, and amongst their children were Philip, whose grandson was Hugh Price Hughes, and Sarah (1757 - 1817), who married David Charles I. Their daughter, Eliza (1798 - 1876), married Robert Davies (1790 - 1841).
