Is your Samuel related to Silvanus Ferris (1773-1861)?
My gggrandmother, Sarah Hitchcock married Silvanus Ferris in 1847 after the first wife of Silvanus died.They lived in Galesburg, IL.I believe Silvanus lived in Herkimer Co., NY before moving to Galesburg.He was one of the founders of Knox College in Galesburg and is buried in Hope Cemetery there.
