    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth rec found. Samuel is called "eldest son" in the will of his father, Hugh Smith [of Rowley], [incomplete date] 1655, proved 25 Mar 1656 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 1:265-36 [FHL #974.45 P2p]). He is also mentioned first on a list of children of Hugh Smith in deposition of his stepfather, Jeremiah Ellsworth, 26 Nov 1657 (Ibid, 1:237). The children for which birth dates are known are listed in proper birth order in this document.
      MAR: VITAL RECORDS OF ROWLEY, 2 vols. (Salem, MA, 1928-31), 1:398 (FHL #974.45/R1 V28v). Duplicate mar rec gives wife's name as Elizabeth (not Mary) Elithorpe. However, wife Mary administered his estate in 1691, below.
      DEATH: No death rec found. See the adm of estate of Samuel Smith, 22 Apr 1691, Essex Co. Court Papers, 1682-92, #75 (FHL #877433). He is said to have died on the voyage to Canada with Capt. Philip Nelson. See George B. Blodgette, EARLY SETTLERS OF ROWLEY (Rowley, MA, 1933), 344-45 (FHL #974.45/R1 D2b). Blodgette appears to be quoting the original probate file, which states Samuel "died in the voyage to Canada." This phrase was evidently left out of the court rec.
