Background

Samuel "Sam" is a resident of New England. His father is William and his mother is Katherine. Samuel's siblings are Thomasin, Caleb, Mercy and Jonas.

During the events of The Witch (2015) played by Axtun Henry Dube and Athan Conrad Dube

William is in front of a town council as Thomasin, Katherine, Caleb, Mercy, Jonas and Samuel are nearby and a group of Settlers watch. William questions the motives of the villagers in leaving England. The Governor tells William to be silent and as William continues, Old Slater tells William that he is the one being judged, not them. William calls them false Christians and the Governor banishes William and his family from the village. As they are leaving the village they pass Wampanoag Men and pass three Militia Men who close the village doors to them. William then takes his family on a wagon out into the forest. The family arrives at a clearing and gives a prayer of thanks. Months later, Thomasin prays to God and asks him to forgive her sins. Katherine has Thomasin watch Samuel and as she is playing with him, he suddenly disappears. Thomasin goes looking for him, but he is taken by The Witch, who murders him, mashes his remains up and spreads his blood on her body and broom.
