Worth-1384 married Mercy Smith's father is DAR patriot Benj Smith. Daughters of the American Revolution, DAR Genealogical Research Databases, database online, (http://www.dar.org/ : accessed 14 Jan 2022), "Record of Benjamin Smith", Ancestor # A104736.
I am reading land deeds and he is identified as being of St. Bottolph, Aldengate, London in 1714 along with his siblings Simon, Joseph, Ephraim Smith, and Gilbert & Dickinson husbands to Smith wives, etc., children of Joseph Smith Sr. (and Lydia Huit/Hewett) of Hartford.
Possible marriage in London to a Jemima Ward in 1697.
Several land deeds in 1718 with Ebenezer Gilbert of Farmington.
Several land deeds in Hartford for Benjamin Smith with a wife Jemima in 1724/25. Jemima was given the whole estate of Thomas Barnard of Bristol but died in Hartford (called of Simsbury) in 1724. Several land transactions with Thomas Barnard and Benjamin Smith before the death of Thomas in 1724.
What do you have on this man that proves the death in London in 1689?
I put the links to the land transactions on my tree:

I just adopted his profile: Smith-39082
Thank you!
Asking for permission to enter and add a location is tedious. One could leave a message on the profile in Comments advising the profile manager to correct this lack.

tyvm for all your hardwork. Fiordalisi-11
They were pioneers of Lawrence county Indiana. When Shawnee potahmamae Delaware ECT. Still had treaty lands here. I have very old mP some dates are in 1700s. If you ever wish see it I'll send you picture of it
What is your connection to Norval Giles Smith?
It's time for a One Name Studies Project check-in!
Could you please advise me which One Name Studies you're still actively coordinating, i.e. maintaining the main study page and associated research pages, and replying to queries/comments from members.
You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you!
If I don’t receive your response within the next three weeks, I’ll assume that your interests have changed or you are no longer able to coordinate any One Name Studies, and you'll be removed from the project.

Jacqueline Baxter, ONS Project Co-Leader
I am looking for the daughters of Joseph Chase Smith(1759) and Betsy Ellen Bean (1779). I have these listed as Mary M Smith (1815 - 1835), Sarah A Smith(1805 - 1869) and Betsy Smith. One of these daughters was married in 1832 (Sarah).
You and I have five matches on Gedmatch on the 23rd or X chromosome, the highest of these matches is 6.5 CMs. My Gedmatch is HW6991746.
Kind regards Melanie
I would love to help with your WikiTwig. I will be interested to see your Cooper connection. Have you done a DNA test that you can add? If you add your parents' profiles and maybe your grandparents, I would be happy to help source your earlier ancestors. Kitty
I believe I have it fixed correctly based primarily on FindAGrave. Please check my work. Kitty
Ebenezer Smith is on the Daughters of the American Revolution database: https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_adb/?action=full&p_id=A105127 Click the little pink D next to each record for details about that ancestral line. I see there is a YDNA connection to Smith Connections Northeastern DNA Project group 21 too.
I was wondering about that Y-DNA connection. Can I assume that it's based on a good Y-DNA match between a patrilineal descendant of Ebenezer and a man who has more conventionally traced his patrilineal ancestry to James Smith (1610 England - 1676 Mass.)? (Or is it based on a conventionally derived patrilineal lineage for Ebenezer that connected him to James Smith?) [By the way,
I asked about this because of some New England Smith "genealogy" that is looking rather tenuous. I was wondering if there was any conventional genealogical evidence or Y-DNA evidence that could help to elucidate the genealogy (or possibly add to the confusion).
The DAR record for Ebenezer Smith does not include his ancestors (only his descendants) and all of the descendant lines are through his daughter Ruhanna (no male lines), so it gives me no insight into male lines that might have provided DNA evidence.
What I am investigating: Recently while poking around with spouses of various women in my extended ancestral family who had married men named Smith, I noticed that Ebenezer Smith who married Lucy Stevens (sister of one of my ancestors) looked very much like one of the recorded sons of John Smith (1725-1799) and Mary (Jewett) Smith. Their son Joel Smith was the first husband of a direct ancestor on an entirely different family line of mine (and I believe was brother to Ebenezer). Joel's parents -- and I think also Ebenezer's parents -- were John Smith (1725-1799) and Mary (Jewett) Smith.
There is rather good evidence that John Smith (1725-1799) was son of Joseph Smith (died 1765 in Canterbury, Connecticut) and his wife Elisabeth Burnap (1691 in Reading, Mass. -1778 in Canterbury, Conn.). I could not find any evidence for the parents of Joseph Smith (father of John Smith and grandfather of Ebenezer and Joel), so I created a profile for John's father Joseph Smith with unknown birth and unknown parents. Another member is firmly convinced (without any evidence) that Joseph was Smith-238921 (Joseph Smith recorded as born in Cambridge, Mass., in 1687), so he disconnected the wife and children from the profile I created for Joseph Smith (abt.1690-1765) and connected them to the profile for the Joseph recorded in Cambridge in 1687. That Joseph Smith of Cambridge in 1687 is annotated as being in "SmithConnections Northeastern DNA Project, group NE48 I1 - Thomas Smith (c1605-1693) m Mary Knapp" (not the group that you identified for Joel's presumptive brother Ebenezer Smith).
There is no Y-DNA project group named on the profile of Joel Smith's son Channing Smith (1797-1878), but there is a link to a patrilineally related member who took a Y-DNA test (Y-DNA Test 37 markers, haplogroup I-M253). I haven't checked to see whether that haplogroup is consistent with either NE21 (James Smith 1610) or NE84I1 (Thomas Smith c1605). Edited: That tester is not a relative on the Joel-Channing Smith line. The tester's supposed connection to Channing Smith is based on the other member's action that connected John Smith (1725-1799) to the Joseph Smith born in Cambridge in 1687. It still would be interesting to know if the haplogroup is consistent with the haplogroup that the DNA project has identified for NE84I1 (Thomas Smith c1605).
Can you offer any insight here?

Just FYI: Recently (since my above post) other members have swapped out the parents on WikiTree profiles of some of the Smiths in or around Canterbury, Connecticut. There's been no discussion of this, and I've not dug down to figure out what's going on there. One member posted on Smith-256610 that "The John Smith who married Mary Jewett was the son of Richard and Mary (Cleveland) Smith." (Wiki profile links inserted by me.) I think some profiles were given different parents based on that theory.

My ancestor, Job Smith-13705, 1718, Bucks, Pennsylvania-1814, Pickens, Pickens, South Carolina, USA, (parents David Smith and Elizabeth Stevenson-532) has been listed with your Hannah Barney, Taunton who married Job Smith-1987.
Obviously someone who lived her life in Taunton could not have married my Job but in all your research have you come across my family and possibly do you know Job Smith-13705's wife and children? I have some children but have become uncertain, since I have removed Hannah as wife that some of the children listed are actually her and Smith-1987's.
Any help at all that you can give me is greatly appreciated.
Take care of yourself, Cuz
I lose track of their five children after a certain point, but I figure their descendants might be able to tell me if I found the right person!
