- Baptismal witnesses were Stephanus Van Cortlandt and Catharina Roeloffs.
Samuel, through the bequest of his father, inherited his portion of the estate in lands that were part of the bouwerie on the Roelf Jansen Kil, in the section where the Ten Broeck family is one of the most ancient. It was here that he passed the years of his life, and by his will made April 23, 1750, he devised the larger part of the tract to his eldest son.
This property had formerly been divided between Albany and Dutchess Counties, but by the Act of May 24, 1717, relating to certain grants on the south of the Roelof Jansen Kil, it was all annexed to Albany County. Thus it remained until, in 1786, the lines were once more changed, and it became part of the new county of Columbia.
In a list of freeholders, made in 1720, "pursuant of an order of Court", Samuel Ten Broeck is cited as "of Claverack". He was also justice of the peace for Albany County.
He and his younger brother, Johannes, married sisters, Samuel and Maria being married in the "two steeple" church of Albany. They were of notable lineage in both branches, reaching back to the Patroons of Rensselaerwyck, and to Anneke Jans, so famous in New York litigation suits; and through the latter, descended from the ninth Prince of the House of Orange: William of Nassau, Sovereign Count of the States of Holland and Zeeland.
