John Smith was only eleven years old and the eldest of five children when his father was killed by the Indians at Hatfield on 30 May 1676 during King Philip's War. He was known as "Orphan John" to distinguish him among his many relatives of the same name.

In 1687 he and his cousin Samuel Smith, son of Philip, were living on the Lieutenant Samuel Smith lot in Hadley. In 1699 when Spruce Swamp was laid out for 22 persons, four people, one of which was Orphan John Smith, owned nearly all of it. He is also listed in 1703 as the owner of one of the larger wood lots, probably about 75 acres, lying between Brookfield Road and Mill River. The record also shows Orphan John taking up land south of Mt. Holyoke (South Hadley) when that part of Hadley was divided and allotted in 1720.

These records suggest that Orphan John Smith was a substantial person. In 1702 he is recorded as being a Townsman (Selectman) in Hadley. He held this post again four more years.

The Wethersfield records tell of John Smith of Hadley and his brother Benjamin owning land in Wethersfield and of John disposing of his land there to Thomas Dickinson in 1710.
