Notes

He came to New England in 1633 [NEHGR 15:25]. He drew a lot on Batchelor Street in 1637 [NEHGR 2:251]. He was probably the son of John Smith of Hingham, according to Leon Clark Hills, Cape Cod Series Vol. 2, pg. 60. He removed to Eastham about 1653, where he held several town offices at various times. He became an extensive landowner in Eastham. Note: Charles Paul Smith (Paul) <73702.466@compuserve.com> is writing a book on the descendants of Ralph Smith. Grace Smith, relict, and Samuell Smith, son, were named administrators of the estate of Ralph Smith of Eastham, deceased, on 27 Oct 1685. [MF 6:26]
