VIERS, SAMUEL C.--"Prominent among the citizens of Rockville for many years was SAMUEL C. VIERS, who was born near Dawsonville, August, 1798. When young he removed to Baltimore, where he engaged in the mercantile business with Charles Diffenderfer, whose youngest sister he married in 1819. He remained in business in Baltimore until 1833, when he removed to a farm purchased by him on Rock Creek. In early life he served many years as magistrate and was postmaster of Rockville under Van Buren's administration, from 1837 to 1841. He was appointed chief judge of the Orphans' Court by Governor Grason. In 1851 he was elected by the people judge of this court, and re-elected in 1853. He enlarged the town by the erecton of a large number of dwelling-houses, and to his enterprise Rockville owes much of its present prosperity. He joined the Baptist Church in 1824, under Elder J. H. Jones, and died Nov. 8, 1872, in the seventy-fourth year of his age."

James Clark states that he is one of the children of George and Nancy Clark of Lewis Co. and that his mother, Nancy Clark (late Nancy Veirs) was the daughter of William Veirs, dec. of Montgomery Co., Maryland. One June 25, 1811, William Veirs (grandfather of James Clark) made his last will and appointed Levi Veirs (of Montgomery Co., Maryland) as his sole executor.
The will of William Veirs specified that after the debts were paid, the estate was to go to Mary Veirs, his wife, for her use during her life and widowhood. At her death or remarrige, the residue of the personal estate was to be equally divided amongst his children: Elijah Veirs, Wm. Veirs, John Mason Veirs, Edward Veirs, Hezekiah Veirs, Solomon Veirs, Nancy Clark's children Dorcas Fletchell and Levi Veirs.
