    [Note: Jemima was called a widow when she died in 1813. There is a William Smith who dies in Needham 21 Sep 1811 aged 79, so born about 1732. This man would be too young to marry in 1747, but if the age was actually 89...]

    27 Apr 1747: William Ockinton of Needham Husbandman for £ 650 conveys to William Smith of Needham Weaver a tract of land with dwelling house about 30 acres in Needham. Witnessed by James Smith Archibald Smith.
    [Note: fact that both witnesses are named Smith suggests a relationship and is why (combined with the naming of one of his sons Archibald) it is thought that William is the son of James and Mary Smith of Needham.]
