Katherine Smith

Biography

From link to The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 55 page 112

Hannah (Mayhew) Daggett married second husband, Capt. Samuel Smith, between 1695 and 1705. The date of her death is not known. She was living in June 1713, died before 1721, as her husband, Capt. Samuel Smith, married his second wife, Kathcrine Homes, May 30, 1721. The will of Hannah (Mayhew) Smith, dated August 22, 1710, was not proved until February 7, 1723. As the property mentioned in the will was given away by deed during her lifetime, the probating of the will was probably a mere matter of form, hence the delay.

c). Norton —Smith. —Who were the parents of Capt. Solomon Norton of Hebron, Ct., born Aug. 19, 1715, perhaps on Martha's Vineyard, and the parents of Capt. Samuel Smith, father of his wife? Solomon Norton removed from Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, to Hebron about 1771 with his wife and six children.
Mrs. Norton was Deborah Smith, baptized at Edgartown 1722, daughter of Capt. Samuel and Katherine (Homes) Smith and granddaughter of the Rev. Wm. Homes of Chilmark, Martha's Vineyard. Capt. Smith and Katherine Homes were married May 30, 1721, at Chilmark. I think.
It is just possible that Solomon Norton was born at Newport, R. I. He had a niece, Thankful Norton, who married Capt. Silas Perry in 1785. She is said to have been the daughter of Prince and Love (Norton) Norton. Prince Norton was of Newport, R. I., son of Nicholas^ Benjamin,a Nicholasi of Martha's Vineyard. Benjamin is said to have been of Newport, R. I. Love Norton may have been sister to Solomon. Solomon's father was Joseph, but not Joseph Jr. ,3 Joseph'-, Nicholas1. He may have been Josephs, Isaac'2, Nicholas1
