Richard Goldsmith (ca. 1644) settled in Wenham, Massachusetts and married Mary Perkins. They were the parents of eight children. One of the children was John Goldsmith (1655-1702) who married three times and was the father of eight children. He settled in New York where the family lived until Captain Thomas Goldsmith (1756-1845) moved to Canada because he and his immediate family were loyalists during the American revolution. He, his wife, Aseneth Conger, and their two children settled in Ontario. Descendants live in Canada and the United States.

John Goldsmith, * His record. Southold 24th of October 1678.

  • Note that J. Wickham Case wrote.
  • Note--John Goldsmith first appears upon the records of this town on the 24th of October, 1678, in a deed of exchange with Widow Margaret Cooper, for a tract of land bounded "North with the sea or sound, and on te South with the highway", containing 168 acres; in August, 1864, he bought of Robert Norris another 168 acres, adjoining his first purchase, making 336 acres. The boundaries are obscure and difficult to locate it surely, but it lay between the farm of the Osborns on the West and the farm late of John Wells on the East, and was composed of the farn now of Morgan's Morgans, the farm of Judge Henry Landon, and that portion of the original farm which has always remained in the Goldsmith family, now owned and occupied by Doctor Henry P. Goldsmith and his brother Nathan Goldsmith. The Catholic Church, the house of Widow Corey, and some other buildings are also upon it's southern boundary, which is the highway. In the deed from Widow Cooper John Goldsmith is named as "of Southampton;" he was no doubt the son of Thomas, who was at Southampton in 1652--not of Ralph, as some suppose, of whose residende and of whose family we have no account whatever. We are quite well assured that the Goldsmiths of Southold are from this (1)John Goldsmith.; he died in 1703; left six sons and two daughters.--J. W. C.

John Goldsmith.--His first record of his lands in Southold shows his location to have been at Corchaug and his premises to have embraced the lands now occupied by Dr. Henry P. Goldsmith, Morgan Morgans, and others; 168 acres he purchased of widow Margaret Cooper and 160 acres of Robert Norris; he also bought the narrow strip of five acres of Mr. Booth lying next west of Joshua Wells his Pooles Neck, and now the homestead of the heirs of the late Lawyer Wickham. When his son 2nd John left his farm, as he appears to have done, and moved on to the place ever since in the family, now of Ezra L. Goldsmith, we cannot determine. Some of the Goldsmiths still rested on the Corchaug farm; Dr. Goldsmith is still occupying a part of it. Both 1st John and 2nd John were extensive farmers. At one time they owned the largest number of shares in the town commons of all persons in the town. 1st John was three times married--to Prudence Wines in 1679, to Anna Wells in 1683, and Elizabeth Wells in 1693; he died in April, 1703, leaving a widow, three sons, and six daughters.

Biography

Josephine C. Frost wrote (1935),[1] "1. JOHN GOLDSMITH married in Southold, L. I., in November, 1679, Prudence, youngest daughter of Barnabas and Anna (Eddy) Wines. (Eddy Genealogy, p. 21.) She died when her only child was born, February 17, 1680/81, and in May, 1683, he married Anne Wells who died before February 2, 1696/97, for on that day he married third, Elizabeth Wells. He died in Southold in April, 1703. (New York Record, Vol. 47, p. 348.) John Goldsmith of Southampton first appears at Southold, when on October 24, 1678 (Town Records of Southold, Vol. 1, pp. 209-211),... Issue (as per Liber E of Southold Town Records and Vol. 38, p. 167, of the New York Record) : (by first wife) John ; (by second wife) Zacheus, Thomas, Richard, Mary; (by third wife) Nathaniel, Daniel, Elizabeth.

Note. —John Goldsmith has been called the son of Thomas of Southampton who came from Salem, Mass., to that place in 1651 and perhaps earlier, and Howell in his history of that town, p. 427, states that Thomas went to Killingworth, Conn., between 1682-1685, and in 1709 was called a great uncle of John Goldsmith of Southold, and the Southold Traveler, under date of August 26, 1910, states that on April 12, 1679, John Goldsmith of Southampton sold to William Barker property there that belonged to his uncle, Thomas Goldsmith, and the issue of October 28, 1910, continues by stating that this John went to Southold and that Thomas's will, dated July 11, 1684, of Killingworth, mentions wife Susanna, nephew Thomas and brother Richard, thus indicating that John may have been a son of Richard."

Death, Cutchogue, Suffolk, New York, 7 April 1703 [2]

Research Notes

2022-12-15: The following information was imported from One World Tree, but only partially conforms to the Southold Town Records, a primary source. Consequently this information has been parked in the research notes and the spurious children: Nehemiah Goldsmith, Moses Goldsmith (1692-), and the second Thomas Goldsmith (1687-1743) have been removed as offspring of John Goldsmith. The removed children continue to exist in the database as orphan profiles.
