- Information taken from a compiled work entitled "Sesquicentannial Tribute to James Madison Flake (born in 1815), June 1997 by Lowry K. Flake" states that Samuel was born in Nauvoo. The record reads, "While they were in Nauvoo their fifth son, Samuel B. Flake, was born on October 12, 1845 ... In the dead of winter they struggled onto the bleak plains of Iowa and on to Winter Quaters, Nebraska. Here they lived in a dug-out during the trying winter of 1846-47. A son, Frederick Flake, was born and died on November 3, 1846, in Winter Quarters." Samuel B. Flake died in the spring in Winter Quarters, on the 25th March 1847, he was just 17 months old. The Flake family went on to Utah in 1848.
