Caption on back of photograph reads: Samuel Powhaten Pharoah was the son of King David and Queen Maria Fowler Pharoah of the Royal family of the Montauk tribe. His brothers were Ebenezer Tecumseh Pharoah, who married Harriet Butler, and King Wyandank Pharoah. Sam who was known in East Hampton and surrounding towns as Indian Sam and King Sam, reigned for awhile as King of the Montauks. He had two sons, William "Midge" Pharoah and Samuel Wiuncombone Pharoah, who is still living. He married his first cousin Harriet who was the daughter of Princess Olive Fowler Butler and Captain Samuel Butler. Sam was an excellent hunter and "Scrub Maker" and many of his scrubs are prized possessions in East Hampton families today. He used to like to take jaunts through the woods and on one of his trips to Springy Banks, he sat down to rest under a tree. It seems that he had been drinking and was found in the morning by some fisherman under the trees where he had frozen to death.
