Samuel⁶ Carman (Benjamin⁵, Benjamin⁴, Caleb³, John², John¹) was born in Hempstead Township, Queens County, New York on 26 March 1749 and died there 21 April 1817. He married, in 1769 probably at St. George's Church, Hempstead, Queens County, New York to Mary DeMott, born in 1754, baptized 26 October 1787 at St George's Church, died 4 July 1824 in Hempstead, Queens County, New York daughter of John DeMott and Maria Colyear.  Both are buried in St George's Churchyard.

If you are looking to join the Daughters of the American Revolution, here is you man (although lately I have heard they are being a little more difficult in their required proof).  Colonel Samuel Carman has long been honored for his service in the Revolution, although more likely he was a Private during the Revolution and gained his title of Colonel later on as an honorarium.  There is a plaque on his grave marker in St George's Churchyard placed by the Long Island Historical Society honoring his service and it is a frequent sight of patriot gatherings and remembrances.

By deed dated May 26, 1786, Samuel acquired from his brother Stephen a block of land on the easterly side of Main Street, extending from the present Fulton to Front Street in Hempstead. In the 1640s this block was the site of the "Fort" and the "Meeting House" of the original settlers of the town. today it is in the center of the Town of Hempstead.

Samuel Carman was also a vestryman of St. George's Church.
