See this text at New Bedford Whaling Museum:
“On the south side of the Smith Neck Road and including the Holder Brownell farm was the homestead of Judah Smith, and to the south the farm of his brother Gershom, while next south and fronting on the Potomska Road was the homestead of Edmund Sherman. West of the last three farms was the homestead of John Lapham, which descended to his sons, John and Nicholas. The farms of Judah and Gershom Smith constituted the homestead of their father, John Smith, as early as 1672, when he was road surveyor of the town.[2]
His will mentions wife Rebeckah, son Isaac, all my sons, all my daughters, my brothers Diliverance Smith and Judah Smith.
