Sam Gamgee was born in TA 2980 and, like his father before him, he was a gardener. His parents were Hamfast Gamgee and Bell Goodchild. Sam married Rose Cotton in TA 3019 and they had 13 children: Elanor, Frodo, Pippin, Bilbo, Goldilocks, Hamfast, Merry, Tolman, Robin, Rose, Daisy, Primrose, and Ruby.
Samwise was the youngest son of Hamfast Gamgee. He led a fairly uneventful life up until his beginnings in the tale of the Ring. Sam was deeply curious about elves, partly because of this, (and partly because he was an eavesdropper), he was selected by Gandalf to accompany Frodo to Rivendell. Elrond also selected him to join the fellowship of the ring.
Throughout the journey, Sam proved his loyalty several times over, and without him the quest would have surely failed. After the betrayal by Smeagol to Shelob, Sam saved the ring from falling into enemy hands, and attempted to destroy the Ring himself. Sam's strength and plain hobbit sense allowed him to resist the lure of the Ring's power, and realise that it was too much a task for him to do alone. After the War of the Ring, Sam was elected Mayor of Michel Delving 7 times. When his wife Rosie died at the age of 82, Sam - last of the Ring Bearers - sailed over the sea to be with Frodo again.
