    Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original, abbreviated as SAMCRO (often spelled Sam Crow), is the mother charter of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club on the FX original series Sons of Anarchy. Located in Charming, California, the club was founded in 1967 by John "JT" Teller, Piermont "Piney" Winston, and other members of the First 9.

    Background

    At the beginning of the show, their President was Clarence 'Clay' Morrow, with Jackson 'Jax' Teller as his Vice President and Alexander "Tig" Trager as the Sergeant-at-Arms. By the end of the series, the President was Filip "Chibs" Telford, with Tig and Happy Lowman serving as Vice President and Sergeant-at-Arms, respectively. As the mother charter, SAMCRO enjoys a great deal of influence and "soft power" among the other Sons charters. However, due to the club's democratic tendencies, the Redwood Originals are unable to dictate to or order around other charters.

    Below are all votes put forth in the "chapel" of the clubhouse, and their tallies.

    •An X under both columns indicate that a member was still part of the club, but not present for the vote, and did not have a proxy in place.

    •Although some portraits on the SAMCRO member wall changed to show different people over time, the general layout is three rows of seven, and then a bottom row of three. This implies that prior to the series, there were at least 24 people who joined the club. There are likely more, taking into account very few portraits resemble First 9 and the unlikelihood excommunicated members (such as Kyle Hobart) would be included.

    •Members known to have mugshots are Piney Winston, Clay Morrow, John Teller, Jax Teller, Chibs Telford, Tig Trager, Bobby Munson, Otto Delaney, Opie Winston, and Juice Ortiz. Later additions known to have been added to the wall are Herman Kozik, Eric Miles and Happy Lowman. It's unknown if Greg the Peg, GoGo, Frankie Diamonds, or Filthy Phil ever had their mugshots added.

    •Several photos on the wall have changed over time. Notably, the portrait next to Chibs and below Clay used to be the mugshot of an unnamed man, but it was later replaced by a picture of John Teller. This was likely an error in set design, possible indicating that JT's actor had yet to be cast.

    •At its peak during the series, SAMCRO had twelve full patch members not incarcerated, although Opie Winston was inactive and did not participate in any votes. This lasted from the middle of Sovereign to the end of Authority Vested, ending because of Jax, Tig, Chibs, and Opie's arrests. Opie would be killed in Laying Pipe, and the others would be released by the beginning of the next episode, bringing the total back up to eleven. Prior to this, the highest amount of members was eleven, and it lasted from Out to With An X.

    •In the second to last episode of Season 3, June Wedding, it is mentioned that there are six other members willing to transfer into the charter, with Bobby mentioning that they would have to be voted in while the club was inside Stockton. However, when the club members are released from prison, these six men are nowhere to be seen and are not mentioned. It is assumed that they either ended up not getting voted in, or they transferred out just prior to the release day of the boys.

    •T.O. Cross is the very first African-American to be a member of SAMCRO, however Juice had a black biological father, but self-identified as full Puerto Rican.

    • How Real Is SAMCRO? As a biker gang, SAMCRO is an accurate portrayal of what happens in real life. The extreme violence and rivalry are very real. For example, back in 2015, two opposing biker gangs got into a massive street war in Waco, Texas, that left 9 people dead 170 behind bars.
    • What Are The Different Club Ranks? There are a number of different ranks/designations in SAMCRO. These can be seen from the different patches on the jackets of members.
    • Was The Club Founded As A Criminal Gang? SAMCRO was mostly decent under John Teller's leadership. The club was originally formed as a group of rebellious men who wanted to chose their own path and not live by society's boring rules.
    • How Often Do The Sons Kill Each Other? Club members are supposed to be brothers who look out for each other but that's not always the case. There have been a couple of brother-to-brother murders.
