SMART.
I am indebted to Frank W. Shepardson, of Granville, Ohio, a descendant of the Smarts, for many of the data relative to this family.
Caleb Smart1 moved from Newmarket to Hopkinton, N. H., and had children; Elijah, Caleb, Joseph, Benning, Mary, Charles,2 b. 1767, Susan, Francis (moved to Ohio), Rebecca, Drusilla and Durell. These are descended from Captain John Smart, who settled in Hingham, Mass., 1635; had sons: Charles, James, Robert. There was a Dudley Smart, who resided in Sanbornton, N. H. (brother of Caleb? ); he was b. 1758; a Samuel, who resided in Wentworth, N. H., b. 1763; a Moses in Runiney, N. H., b. 1755; a Robert, d. at Sanbornton, 1818; wife d. 1824, aged about 101 years.

Moulton Smart, who lived in Parsonsfield in the last of the 18th century, was a con- nection of Gardner3-was he a brother or nephew of Charles2? He had sons, Bur- leigh and Emery, both physicians (see page 139), and a daughter, Harriet, who m. Phineas Ames. I have been unable to trace the connection, only the fact that Gard- ner8 used to call Drs. Burleigh and Emery his cousins.
SMITH.
This name can never be traced. It is safe to say, however, that the first Smith was named John, and it is claimed for him, the first settler in the U. S., a birth in England. He settled in Portsmouth in 1631, and some eight or ten generations from him is H. G. O. Smith, son of Thomas and Sally (Moulton) Smith, of Newfield, a family of distinction. He was b.

TUCK. (By John Tuck,)
The lineage of this family may be traced back 250 years, to Robert Tuck, the pro- genitor of all the families of that name in New England. He emigrated from England in 1636, and settled in Winnacunnet, now Hampton, N. H., in 1638. On his settle- ment, the town of Hampton granted him a considerable quantity of land, which continued in his possession and that of his male descendants 160 years, and during five generations. The names of the five men who each represented one of these gen- erations were: i, Robert Tuck, b. in Suffolk County, England; d. in Hampton, in 1664. ii, Edward Tuck, b. in England; d. in Hampton, April 6, 1652. iii, John Tuck (Deacon), b. in 1652; d.
