Research Notes

Added source for baptism given, but could not find a source to show he emigrated. There is a marriage of Joseph Smith and Jane Cowper in 1634, but it is 60 miles away at Sledmere, a long way in those days, so have not added it to the biography. Marriage details: Joseph Smith of Langtoft, tailor, and Jane Cowper of Sledmere, spinster.^[3]
