• Notes

  First seen at Sudbury about 1647, then a few years later at Lancaster. He names, among others, son Richard, daughter Ann Moore, and son-in-law John Moore in his will. Robert Charles Anderson's 1985 article "John Smith of Watertown, Massachusetts" (citation details below) provides the definitive modern disambiguation of several early John Smiths, of which this John Smith is one.
