HISTORY OF DURHAM
SMYTH
George Smyth is first mentioned 20 March 1641, when he and John Dam were appraisers of John Phillips' estate. He was appointed Court Recorder in 1646. On the 22d day of 2d month 1648, it was ordered that "Mr. George Smith, William Pomfret, and John Hall, being chosen, shall have full power & authority to put an end to all Controversies that shall at any time arise, for the space of one whole year." The commissioners chosen for the same year were Mr. Wiggin, Mr. Smith and Mr. Gibbons. He was assistant at Court, i. e., associate judge, 1649-52, and witness at various times from 1643 to 1652. As agent of John Ugrove, 18 Dec. 1650, he sold to Dennis Downing house and land in Kittery. He was rated at 32 pounds, 8 shillings, in 1648 and at 30 pounds in 1649, with a line drawn across the figures, as though erased, he having nothing to be taxed for. Only two inhabitants of Dover, fishermen, had a lower rate than George Smyth. On the 21st of 3d month, 1652, he took the deposition of James Wall. He administered the estate of George Webb in 1651. The last act recorded of him was 27: 7: 1653, when he took the depositions of several men of Exeter and signed his name George Smythe .*
There is no deed with his name as grantee, nor as grantor. There is no hint that he had any grant from the town. He prob- ably lived at Dover Neck and may have had a house lot there of three or four acres, as all the first settlers had. There is no probate record concerning him. He disappears in 1653. The statement made in Historical Memoranda of Ancient Dover that his widow married (1)- - Munday and (2) - Nason of Kittery seems to rest on no foundation. It is certain that no Nason of Kittery so married.
The Pioneers of Maine and New Hampshire says that George Smith deposed, 18:8: 1652, that he had made use of lands about Lampril River, bought of the Indians, and refers to Mass. Ar- chives, 112-44. This is an error. John Ault and Richard York made deposition coram George Smyth about such lands.
The following citations afford a little light. Oct. 1, 1645; "George Smyth for his adventure of 25 1. is granted 200 acres of land wr they shall require it, so that it lie neith" wthin ye limits

of any towne, nor wr it may hindr ye planting of anothr towne, hereafter to be granted, wch is agreable to other grants formerly made upon like grounds." *
"In answr to the petition of George Smith the Court, having perused the original assignment of John Smith unto ye petitioner & rec'd information from some of the Court of the petitioners right & of a probability that some lands were granted the peti- tioner for ye same some years since, the records whereof can not now be found, judge meet to grant ye petitioner two hundred acres of land in lieu of the twenty-five pounds adventure disbursed by ye sd John Smith in ye yeare 1628, to be laid out in some free place by Mr. Gettings & Mr. Metcalf of Ipswich, who are ap- pointed to see the same done accordingly," etc.t
Two hundred acres were laid out to George Smith upon Asi- both River, 7 May 1662, and again, IIth of 3d month 1672, two hundred acres were laid out to George Smith, on the "north side of Merrimacke River, about three or four miles beyond the river, on the way as ye go to Jeremiah Hills & on the west side of Bever Brook, at the head of the long pond."}
There was a George Smith, son of Thomas, who died in Ips- wich in 1661 and another George Smith who died in Ipswich 15 Dec. 1674. His will mentions wife, unnamed, and children, Thomas, Samuel, Sarah, Newman, Rebecca, Elizabeth, and Joanna.
Was the George Smyth of Dover the same person as the George Smith of Ipswich? How was either related to the John Smith who "adventured" £25 in 1628?
SMITH
Not a shred of evidence has been found that George Smyth was the father of James Smith and Joseph Smith of Oyster River, nor that the two last were related at all. "James Smith for con- tempt in open Court for keeping on his hatt notwithstanding he was admonished & bidden take it off is sentenced to be set by the heeles one hower." This is found in Court Records, II, 75b and is dated 30 June 1663. It is the earliest mention of James Smith and shows his independent spirit and that he was probably a

Quaker. The next record of him strengthens such a conclusion. "James Smith for not coming to meeting for severall months, Court finds 14 days & one day confest to have been at a Quaker meeting, sentenced to pay 5s a day for not coming to meeting is 3P Ios & Iod for going to ye Quaker meeting & fees." This was I July 1663. [Court Records, II, 77b.]
He took the oath of fidelity, 29 June 1669. The same year he bought land of Henry Brown and of Teague Royall, on the south side of Oyster River and above the Falls, near what is now called Broth Hill. He was licensed to keep a public house, 9 Oct. 1686. He married Sarah, daughter of Ensign John and Jane (Peasley) Davis, named as Sarah Smith in her father's will. He died of a surfeit produced by running to assist Capt. Floyd in a battle with the Indians at Wheelwright's Pond, 6 July 1690. His widow and two sons were killed by Indians 18 July 1694. He was a tailor by trade.

SMITH
Joseph Smith,* born 1640, witnessed a deed 9: 12:1657. He bought of Matthew Williams, 14 Sept. 1660, forty acres on the north side of Oyster River, not far from its mouth. The same year he had a grant of "a small piece of wast land on the north side of Oyster River for a house lott," between the lot of Mat- thew Williams and that of William Williams, Jr. He had a grant of ten acres adjoining his house lot on the northwest, 19 March 1693/4, and sixty acres on the north side of Lamprey River the same year. He had a garrison house and died therein 15 Dec. 1727. He married Elizabeth Bickford, daughter of John and Temperance. She died 25 May 1727. In his will he gave £12 for repairing the Friends' meeting house at Dover, which suggests that he was a Quaker, and the suspicion is confirmed by the language of the following paper, found among the Probate Records, VI, 58:
"Mary Tasket Dr. to Joseph Smith 1697 total 2-4-9.
