Notes

• . Christopher Smith's family is not well documented except in Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island and in Dean Crawford Smith's Ancestry of Emily Jean Angell.

Christopher Smith (abt 1600 - 1676) married Alice ( ) in England before 1625. They had a son Edward Smith (abt 1630-1793) who married Amphillis Angell. They had a son Christopher Smith (abt 1670 - bef 1758) who married Mary Stephens. They had a son Christopher Smith. I think this is the Christopher Smith that you are asking about. However, I don't have any information on a marriage for him or a birth date, but based in Mary Stephen's birth date of 1697, I would guess Christopher's birth to be about 1720s. (1)

Research Notes

Vol I Page 287lists his children as Deborah, Christopher, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Abigail, Anphillis and Capt. John, and not James or Jeremiah. More research needed.

Torrey's seems to have no idea who he really married[1], while The Ancestry of Rufus B. Smith offers that he married Mary Stephens c1696.[2] Unfortunately, the Rufus book also says he died in 1758 and married Elizabeth Arnold before 1795. There's a little problem there. then Beers says he married Elizabeth Arnold first and then Mary Unknown.[3] I think the wife/wives of this Christopher Smith are still very much in question.
