Hi George  Smiley

I think it came from the place name:

I'm trying to finda website for you but it must have been the town/settlement of Samuel!

Hi George  Smiley

I'm not sure that all those with the surname Samuel are related. However, it might be worth putting up your interest on the One Name Interests Board:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,139.0.html

or you could do a search for anyone here:

or have a look at the GOONS site:

Are your ancestors from Samuelston?

dating back to 1650 they have been in many parts of East Lothian , especially around the Haddington and Prestonpans areas. Mostly Farm workers , which makes me wonder if a Samuel lived in the hamlet or possibly a number of them which is maybe why it became known as Samuel town ? haha just a wild guess but you never know !
