Lieut. Samuel SMITH

1601 - 1681  (~ 79 years)

• Name	Samuel SMITH  [2, 3]
  	The following evidence supports the identification of Samuel Smith, the 1634 immigrant, as the son of John and Mary (Gardiner) Smith. The 1634 passenger list shows Samuel as aged 32, which agrees with his baptismal date. He was baptized in Burstall, Suffolk, near Whatfield (where he married in 1624) and where his older children were baptized (Whatfield and Hadleigh). He was named in the wills of his grandmother Gardiner in 1615 and his father in 1618. Because he had immigrated to New England in 1634, he was not named with his brothers in 1635 will of their aunt Elizabeth (Gardiner ) Hayward. Samuel and Elizabeth named a son Philip, presumable either for his brother or her father (or both). Four of Samuel and Elizabeth's six grown children named a child Nathaniel, perhaps for his brother Nathaniel. [1]
