The Children of Peter of Yeocomico: While the name of Peter’s wife is not mentioned, we know he was the father of ten children: 1) Peter, Jr. married Sarah Baker, 2) Ann married Hugh Thomas, 3) William married Letitia Hancock, 4) John may have married a Mary Adkins, 5) Mary Elizabeth married John Fleming, 6) Hannah married George Lamkin III and a John Ware, 7) Our ancestor, James (1708-1749), married Elizabeth Presley Taylor (1700-1771), 8) Thomas married Elizabeth Fleming, 9)Martha married William McClanahan, and 10) Abigail married William Fleming. http://smithtree.info/home.php/smithroots/

Peter Smith's will provides some information about his children: who the girls married, where the sons lived, who was deceased at the time he wrote his will. His wife was not mentioned in his will; evidently she was not living on January 10, 1738.
