• Notes

  Samuel served as a Second Lieutenant in the 4th U.S. Artillery in the Mexican War. He was brevetted to First Lieutenant for gallantry at Contreras and Churubusco. He was appointed by President Buchanan as U.S. Consul at Foo Chow, China, where he served from Jun 1850 to Dec 1861. He served as a delegate from Maryland to the Convention of Liberal Republicans which nominated Horace Greeley for the Presidency, supporting the nominee in his campaign against Grant through his newspaper, "The Maryland Herald", published in Frederick. He died in Washington, D.C. at the age of 54, the last male of his line to bear the name of Gouverneur. One reference gives Samuel's birth year as 1828 another gives 1820. One reference gives his wife's death year as 1913.
