Samuel Rust was a ship-carpenter and worked on the old "Constitution" at Portsmouth. His name is quite frequently met with in the town records, tax lists and on petitions of Exeter. The following allusion is made to him in Gov. Bell's new history of Exeter: "The Goal in Exeter, during the rebellion was made a receptacle for foreign prisoners and for tories from this and other provinces, especially New York. It was not a safe place of confinement as was proved by the notorious Henry Tufts and others having made their escape from it. A guard had to be furnished in 1777, for two months, when it was filled with prisoners, to keep them secure, and the following Exeter men were employed in that capacity: Samuel Rust" and others, "for which, for 2 mo. service he was paid £12 10s." He was also in active service in the Revolutionary war and described as follows: twenty-nine years old, five feet, nine inches high and dark complexion. He was Sergeant in Col. Brown's regiment, in the twenty-eight days service; traveled 112 miles.(*) Nov. 6, 1795, Samuel Rust and Ruth, his wife, of Exeter, N. H., deed one-fifth of all the real estate "my honored Grandmother, Sarah Rust, widow, late of Ipswich, died seized, to Nathaniel Rust, Cordwainer." It is a remarkable fact that although Samuel had nine children, five of them being sons, there are only three of his descendants living who bear the name Rust, two grandsons and one granddaughter.
