  3. Source:Bond, Henry. Family Memorials. Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, Including Waltham and Weston (1855), p. 437, lists 4 events in this family that haven't been found: the baptism of Prudence in 1733, Abraham in 1732, and again in 1736, and Phinehas in 1738. Note that the father's will does name a son Abraham, but does not name a Prudence or Phineas, while it does name a Eunice and Joshua not mentioned by Bond. Which Joshua Smith this was had not been determined, nor which Abraham Smith, though in the latter case, it seems pretty likely it is the Abraham Smith of Lunenburg that married Lucy Allen of Newton in 1763.
