• Notes

  Samuel Smith was mentioned in the will of his grandfather, Francis Smith, in 1679. He also administered upon the estate of his father Samuel. In 1698 he filed an addendum to the inventory of his father's estate. The addition was a one "half share of the old Iron works in" Taunton. This half share was divided among his own children twenty years later, after his death, which provides a firm link among three generations. Samuel's grandfather had bought this share in the iron works in the 1650's. Several of Samuel's children sold their shares in their father's estate in 1726 to Samuel Pitts. Their mother was mentioned as Esther Fisher, thus she had remarried in the eight years since her husband's death. No marriage record for Samuel and Esther exists , but she is found as Esther Smith, widow of Samuel Smith, selling her rights in her father's, Thomas Caswell's, estate in 1722. Samuel belonged to the First Foot Company of Taunton and was impressed into expeditions against Canada at least twice during the French and Indian Wars. The first time was on April 7, 1693. The second time was on June 26, 1711 for an ill-fated expedition. The fleet set sail on July 30, but one night eight transports were wrecked and one thousand soldiers were lost. The remainder of the expedition returned at that time without undertaking their mission. Samuel appears on a list of the Military Training Company of Taunton on May 30, 1700 under Capt. Thomas Leonard. He was also on the list of First Foot Military Company of Taunton in 1710 under the now Major Leonard.
