According to Ashover Parish records, Samuel's baptism took place on 9 Nov 1766. Therefore, it is likely that he was born on an earlier date.

He received a 50 acre grant in the area to the north of the Parramatta Road in January 1806 and was subsequently granted additional portions of land further east, to the south of Parramatta Road and east of Haslams Creek. Samuel was given a “Beer Licence” for an Inn on Parramatta Road in 1811. It served travellers between Sydney and Parramatta. The area was very isolated at the time. In very early times it was officially Hackings Creek but Samuel Haslams hospitality was well known so that the area and thus the creek became known as Haslams Creek. In 1859 a railway platform was opened along its wanderings and was named Haslam's Creek. The station is now known as Lidcombe. C 1835: Samuel died. No exact date found.
