No sources listed for parents of John Smith III born in York County, VA, died in Chowan County, NC.
Current parents of John Smith, II
and Elizabeth Smith
do not make sense as they seem to have lived their lives in Fairfield, CT. Geography is basic.
I think the names may be correct, but locations are not. Wikitree source

Ann Jasper's Lineage
Richard Jasper, born Bef. 1665; died Abt. 11 June 1698 in Richmond County, VA27.He was the son of John Lancelet Jasper and Sarah Sheppard.He married 21. Mary Unknown in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, VA27. 21.Mary Unknown, born Bef. 1665. Notes for Richard Jasper: In the reference by Nugent, "Pioneers and Cavaliers," Patent Bk. Part II, page 277 is noted the "Transportation of ten persons, among which was JOHN JASPER, who came on the Mary of Bristol in 1634." This is most likely the first Jasper of our line to come to the United State, then only a colony. According to N. Roy, "We have NO PROOF that JOHN JASPER came from Suffolk but we do know that in the middle 1800's certain Jaspers came to UTAH from Monmouthshire.It is probable that JOHN JASPER came from that area asMonmouth is much nearer the port of Bristol than Suffolk.Most of the young unmarried male immigrants were between the ages of 16 and 25 years, but the age of JOHN must be a surmise as there are NO records. "RICHARD JASPER, probable son of the immigrant, is the ONLY JASPER we find in Virginia at this time who left a record.He appears to have been born ca. 1636-1638. and to have married Mary, (surname unknown) about 1660. Shedied prior to 1680 when he married second, Sarah (surname unknown). There were two children by the first marriage and four by the second."(Roy) Will Book II. p. 60--Richmond County, Virginia (Richmond is one of the counties made from Old Rappahannock)Will of RICHARD JASPER, dated June 11, 1698, gives to his son, Thomas Jasper, and his legally begotton heirs, "All the tract of land I now live on.To son Richard Jasper, Jr. and his heirs, "the piece of land which I bought from Richard Dudley.To daughter Sara, one feather bed, a rug and two blankets," and states that the sons should maintain her until she is sixteen years old and afterwards "that my sons should yearly pay her, the said Sara, each of them 250 pounds of Tobacco." Personal estate is to go to my two grandchildren, William and Mary Dudley."I give to my son Richard Jasper, Senr., one shilling." Tes:Marks of Wm W. Leehis Mary M. Lee Hen. HayesRichard R. J. Jasper Mark Probated: p. Sacrement Hen. Hayes in Circuit Court Richmond, 3 tr. die mart ii. 1702 and Record r Test: James Sherlock, Blk. Sur. From this will, one can only surmise that either Richard's son who was left only one shilling was "being punished" by being willed such a pittance, or that he was wealthy in his own right and did not need the inheritance, but his father felt a need to include him in the will for a legal purpose.
