Research Notes

Family of John SMITH and Deborah PARKHURST ^[7]

John Smith (Sr.), of Martha's Vineyard Birthdate: circa June 05, 1621 Birthplace: Ipswich, Suffolk, England, (Present UK) Death: October 13, 1687 (62-70) Martha's Vinyard, Dukes County, Province of New York (Present Massachusetts), (Present USA) Immediate Family: Husband of Deborah Smith Father of Lt. John ("The Cooper") Smith; Philip Smith; Capt. Samuel Smith, of Edgartown; Abigail Covell and Deborah Batchelder The book "History of Martha's Vinyard" said he was the ancestor of one Smith family on the Island. No relationship to the other (Smith's) is known. He first settled at Watertown 1634, where he married Deborah Parkhurst. He removed to Hampton, N.H. 1644 and to Edgartown 1653. He died about 1670 and his wife Deborah was appointed executrix of his will which was dated 14 Feb 1670. Have a copy of his will. Found in the History of Martha's Vinyard, Annals of Edgartown.

Originally had a marriage date of 1643, but the book the "Annals of Meredith, New Hampshire" has a marriage date of 1634. It also has a date of his will as February 14, 1670, which is different.. Could there be two John Smiths who married Deborah Parkhurst? This book has him born at Dorking, England. He was mentioned in the formation of "Company of the Plough" of London. which was formed in 1630 which was of a religious nature, and their leader was Stephen Batchelder. Their plans were to come to America but did not get away until 1632, and after arriving in American they made several attempts to plant their colony, with rather indifferent success in several places, but the original settlement was at Hampton, New Hampshire during nine years of trials. John Smith, with others, first settled at Hampton, but shortly afterward he and Christopher Hussey removed to Marthas Vineyard, and all later references to him are referred to as John Smith of Nantucket or John Smith of Martha's Vineyard. He was one of the heads of sixteen families named John Smith who settled in Massachusetts prior to 1650.

John Smith Jr descends from John Smith, a Nantucket founder.

John Smith, circa 1638 married Deborah Parkhurst who was born about 1615 in England. John first settled at Watertown, Ma where he married Deborah's Aunt Ruth (Leete) Daultyon, wife of Timothy Dalton, then lived. The earliest record found at Edgartown, Ma relating to John is dated 6 June 1654 when he was chosen as one of the magistrate's assistants. He was part of the Edgartown train band in 1662, and his name is mentioned in the town records in 1660. 1663, and 1664, either as drawing lots in the various division of the common land, or in other minor connections. After that, he is believed to have moved to Nantucket to spend his declining years. His house lot was on Tower Hill, just north of the cemetery, and was willed to his son Phillip.
