Residence, Jul 1735 Age: circa 57. Orange Dist., Virginia Colony. Migrated with family* to Orange Dist. (now Hampshire Co) Virginia Colony; in 1738 Frederick Co. was formed from Orange Dist. and in 1754 Hampshire County was created by the Virginia General Assembly from parts of Frederick and Augusta counties.

About Mary and Thomas and offspring John:

"After July 1735 no mention has yet been found in reference to the spouse of Thomas Smith; even her putative given name 'Mary' has yet to be confirmed. Around 15-16 years after putting down new roots with the families of father Thomas Smith and John Parke in the not very productive soil of the upper piedmont of Virginia Colony, John and Rebecca and children and other ex-patriot New Jerseyans migrated South to the fertile bottomland of the Yadkin River Valley of North Carolina circa 1748, where they established permanent homes in the nostalgically-named "Jersey Settlement" on Swearing Creek, Anson (later Rowan) Co., North Carolina Colony. --- Gary Smith 53226"
