It is assumed that Benjamin Smith was his son, but the evidence is not as yet conclusive. It is noticeable that Benjamin Smith's land was adjoining| to Tuomas Smith's, and that Benjamin had two grandchildren named Christopher. Elward Smith (son of Christopher) was witness to the will! of Benjamin Smith, and Edward was as careful to name a son Benjamin as he had been to give others the family names of Christopher and Thomas. In the Providence tax list of 1650. there were but two Smiths old enough to be enrolled, viz: the widow of John Smith (miller) and Christopher Smith. The descendants of John Smith (miller), and John Smith i mason) a later comer, are accounted for : lesving Benjamin Smith alone of his genera-} tion, and there is little probability of his having been himself an emigrunt.
