Biography

Alice Gender: Female Marriage Date: 1621 Death Year: 1650 Marriage Place: England Spouse's Name: John Smith[1]

  1. John Smith 1595 – 1669
  2. Lawrence Smith 1610 – 1665
  3. Joseph Smith 1622 – 1722
  4. Elizabeth Smith 1623 – 1632
  5. John Smith 1623 – 1672
  6. John Smith 1642 – 1682
  7. Ann Smith 1642 – 1708. [2]

It is thought that Alice might be the daughter of George Knight(s) because he and his family came as passengers aboard the ship Diligent in 1638. Perhaps coincidentally, there was a Smith family that came on the same ship from the same county in England, Henry Smith with wife Judith, children John, Henry, Daniel, Judith and Elizabeth.[3]

What is the source for her maiden name of Comstock? There are no sources in the profile supporting that last name, and Anderson (Great Migration) said her last name was unknown.

Why is she married to two different men both called John Smith? That's fishy. Isn't it?
posted by Isaac Taylor
When you read the bios, they are the same person. It appears that Elizabeth is not their daughter though.

Knight-3286 and Comstock-592 appear to represent the same person because: certainly seems to be same person

I can't find any basis for John Smith 1623-1672 being the son of Alice Comstock and John Smith. Other records say their son was John Smith 1642-1683 Rhode Island. https://www.geni.com/people/John-Smith-Jr/6000000001069499855
What is the evidence for Knight as her maiden name? Anderson (GM Vol VI, p 388) offers no maiden name. Also what is the source of Comstock as other last name?

Comstock-599 and Comstock-592 appear to represent the same person because: Married to the same guy
