  • Notes 
    • Notwithstanding many claims to the contrary, she was not a daughter of Giles Smith who was in Hartford by 1639 and died in Fairfield in 1669.

      Evidence that Anne, the widow of Francis Andrews, went on to be the second wife of Dr. Henry Smith:

      * Henry Smith and his second wife Anne had a prenuptual agreement that named three of her children by her previous husband, Rebecca, Ruth, and Abraham, names that correspond to the youngest, third youngest, and fourth youngest of the children of Francis and Anne Andrews.

      * The probate record of Francis Andrews calls his widow "Anna Smith".

      * On 14 Mar 1664, Anna, late wife of Francis, deceased, sold land to her son-in-law Simon Couch. In 1673, Couch stated that he had purchased this land from Ann Smith.
