Samuel was a carpenter, hired with William Allen to build an ammunition house for the town of Salem, on 28 August 1637. On 23 April 1657, he was hired with Nathaniel Pickman to build stocks and whipping posts. Samuel also earned money as marshal of the Salem Quarterly Court. He was admitted to the Salem church prior to reorganization in late 1636. Able to read and write well enough to hold offices of constable and marshal; in the latter capacity, he was called upon frequently to make copies of court documents.
He requested freemanship on 19 October 1630.
Samuel Archer was chosen constable of Salem on 4 December 1637. He was clearly in that office at later dates, although there is no record of his reappointment. On 17 May 1647 it was ordered that "Samuel Archard shall be Marshal of the Court of Salem", and he continued in that office until 1666. ( Although this was an order of the town of Salem, the marshal was an officer of the Salem Quarterly Court, and was the position which would develop into sheriff of the county. Samuel Archer first appeared in the court records as marshal on 6 July 1647, and at the court of 7 April 1649, was again appointed to this office and he appeared in the court records regularly in this capacity until June 1666, when he resigned the office.
The pay for this position was initially 5 pounds per annum, but this was reduced to 4 pounds. His responsibilities were to serve writs issued by the court, to collect fines and fees, and to destrain goods for debt or for other court cases.
Samuel Archer was granted 60 acres at Jeffrey's Creek in the 1636 Salem land grant. He was granted three-quarters of an acres of marsh on 25 December 1637, with a household of five. On 26 November 1638 he was granted 20 acres near Jeffrey Creek Island and 8 acres meadow in Kettle Island Cove.

On 8 June 1661, Samuel Archard of Salem, carpenter, for 4 pounds, sold to Thomas Pittman of Marblehead, seaman, one acre of marsh in Salem on Marblehead side of Forest River.
On 27 April 1665, Samuel Archard Sr. of Salem, for 9 pounds 5 shillings, sold to James Browne of Salem, merchant, 17 rods of land in Salem.
On 5 July 1669, "Susanna, late wife of Samuel Archard deceased and now wife of Richard Hutchinson", deeded to William Browne Sr. of Salem "all my thirds of housing and lands that my late husband Archard died seized of".
Administration on the estate of Samuel Archard was granted on 26 November 1667 to Susanna Archard, widow, and Samuel Archard. The inventory, taken 17 December 1667 by Edmond Batter and Hillyard Veren, totaled 176 pounds, 3 shillings, of which 117 pounds was in real estate: dwelling house and other buildings with half an acre, 65 pounds; "16 pole of ground lying on the other side of the land". 5 pounds; 8 acres in the south field, 12 pounds; and five acres meadow, 35 pounds. Samuel had debts totaling 195 pounds 14 shillings; which, after various allowances, meant that the creditors could be paid off at the rate of fourteen shilling to the pound.
A lengthly summary of accounts with Mr. William Browne shows that the latter owed Samuel Archer 120 pounds 16 shillings, although this does not seem to have been included in the other accounts of the estate; this account shows the full mix of Samuel Archer's activities as carpenter, marshal and lighterman. On 29 June 1669, Mr William Browne was given control of the estate and instructed to settle with the creditors.
