On March 17, 1684 Samuel and Simon Moyses (Latin for Moses) were allowed by Duke Ernst August of Brunswick and Lunenberg to settle in Diepholz with their families for ten years. They should provide the rural population with loans/credits. After ten years, on March 27, 1694, the protection letter was renewed.
The earliest use of the Samenfeld name was by the grandson of Samuel Moyses.

*From “Nazi Crimes against Jews and German Post-War Justice” by Edith Raim: “In Diepholz the 86 year old Jewish butcher Carl Samenfeld, who at the time was bedridden, was torn out of his bed and lodgings and pulled on a hand cart to the local courthouse. He was only wearing a nightcap, a shirt and underpants.”
