William¹ Smith, born after 1600, died after Jan. 1663/4 and some time before 1670. … He was a magistrate at Weymouth, Mass., 1638-43, and was of Rehoboth, Mass., about 1643-51. He settled in Huntington, Long Island, where he was a magistrate, Dec. 1661, and inventoried an estate, Jan. 1661/2. Soon after he moved to Jamaica, L. I., where house lots were granted to "William Smith & his son Nehemiah Smith," 11 Jan. 1663/4. He did not long survive that date, for on 6 Sept. 1670 Magdalen Olmstead of Norwalk, late wife of William Smith of Jamaica, deceased, gave her housing in Jamaica to her sons Wait Smith and Samuel; and Samuel Smith assigned his share to "my brother Wait Smith." … At Huntington in 1684, Thomas Smith, Joseph Smith, Nehemiah Smith, and Wait Smith confirmed land there as children of William Smith now deceased, formerly of Huntington; Daniel Denton and Joseph Smith, Jr., witnessed.
