THE SMITH FAMILY.
In looking into the early records of almost any town in the Com- monwealth, we should naturally expect to find the name of Smith; and if John himself was not there, we should infer that he had left his kinsmen, Joseph, and Thomas, and Samuel, and had gone on a . tour to visit his old friend, Mr. Jones. In regard to Lex. we are not left to matters of inference; for in looking at the first tax ever imposed by the parish, in 1693, we find that both John and Thomas are there, acting the part of good citizens, by contributing to the support of religious institutions. But though we have record evidence that John and Thomas were at Camb. Farms in 1693, we are not so certain whence they came or who were their ancestors. The Smiths were so numerous in Wat., Lex., and other neighboring towns, and the Christian names of John and Joseph and Thomas and Samuel being so common in all the families, it becomes exceedingly difficult to trace them and preserve the personal identity, or even the family to which any one of them belongs. Living as they did, and still do, on the borders of the town, near the line of Wat. and Walt., there will, almost as a matter of course, be some passing and repass- ing of the town line, which increases the difficulty in making the genealogy perfectly accurate.
According to the best information we can obtain, the Lex. Smiths came from Wat. On the earliest list of proprietors of that town, in 1636, are four of the name of Smith, viz., John, sen., John, jr., Thomas, and Francis.
1
JOHN SMITH, sen., had a wife by the name of Isabella, who d. Oct. 12, 1639, aged 60 years. It is probable that John and Isabella were the parents of John, jr., and Thomas, and perhaps of Francis and Daniel. John, sen., d. July 12, 1639, aged 60.
1- 2 John, ad. freeman, May 22, 1639. IIe may have been the John Smith who d. in Lancaster in 1669.
.
3 Francis was ad. freeman, May 18, 1631.
4 Daniel was a resident in Wat. as early as 1642.
5 t Thomas came to America in the summer of 1635, and was ad. free- man, May 17, 1637.

In the delicate work of seating the meeting house, we find that John Stone and Thomas Smith, " were Plast in ye fore seatt of ye body of seats." He d. Dec. 25, 1727, aged 88, and she d.
