Bio

Samuel Childs (1712-1786) was a soldier and tailor who lived in Deerfield, Massachusetts. Four of the six children born to Samuel and his wife Sarah had four children who lived to adulthood. From 1747-1748, during King George's War (1744-1748), Childs was in command of Fort Pelham.

Childs enslaved a man named Caesar who fought in the French and Indian War (1754-1763), and he rented the services of Titus enslaved by Dan Arms and Titus enslaved by Jonathan Ashley. In 1774, he cut out a coat and breeches for Prince, enslaved by Joseph Barnard.
