The profile of this (Symmes-10) William's descendant Zechariah has the info from pages 47-48, Annals of the American pulpit..., by William Buell Sprague, 1795-1876.
That biography says his father (son of this, Symmes-10, William) was ordained 1588. Since an 11-year-old would not have been ordained, then Zachariah's father is not the son of William Symes-17. The inscription seems to imply the father of Zechariah had only two sons - William & Zechariah - while Symes-17 named several sons in his 1597 will (no Zechariah though), which means that Symes-17 wasn't the father either.
So - I'm thinking that this Symmes, b 1544, is the one ordained 1588, and had two sons, William and Zechariah (the inscription isn't dated, but Symes-17 died 1597, leaving a will that named lots of children - no Zechariah, and William not yet 21).
The main reason I think they're different, though, is I think they're different religions... I haven't found anything to show that Symes-17 or his son John was a recusant, but it seems that William Symmes-10 (father of Rev. William) was.
I'm not having much luck researching this... so far, I've only found that maybe I should be looking for Puritans? (See this HOP page.)

Please correct.
