- ↑ There are several Seth Smiths but none that appear likely to be this Seth Smith either due to location or age. There is a death record in Norton for Seth Smith, "s. Andrue and Sarah of Tanton", in 1739, which matches very well with last recorded child b. 1736. However, it says in 19th y. No matching birth record has been found, so doubts arise if the age at death was recorded/transcribed correctly or not. One source says Andrew Smith m. (1) Mary Very, m. (2) Sarah ---, but the marriage record in Norton for Andrew Smith and Mercy Very is in 1724, so if this is him, a second marriage could not possibly account for a son born about 1720. No resolution of this confusing data has been found yet.
Cutter, Vol. 3, p. 1312, says he is the son of Elisha Smith and Elizabeth Wheelock of Medfield, though his information is sketchy and of unknown basis. The Medfield records show only one child, Seth, and Cutter says he "removed, probably to Lancaster", which at a minimum, suggests much is unknown that needs to be filled in to have a probable scenario. Source:Clark, George Faber. History of the Town of Norton, Bristol County, Massachusetts, p. 217, suggests he might be the son of Nicholas Smith of Norton.
