Nehemiah SMITH [1] |
- Nehemiah Smith came to Plymouth about 1638; married at marshfield, 1640; removed to Stratford, Conn., by 1644; in 1645 was living in the Oyster River section west of New Haven; in 1652 he was living on Long island, and then bought property in New London, whither he removed, but in 1655 as in marshfield again. He lived in New London until after the settlement of Norwich, but had removed to that town by 1663.
He was brother of JohnSmith, born about 1609, died 4 oct. 1679, who settled in Boston in 1639 and removed to New London in 1653. Edward Smith (born about 1637, died 14 July 1689) of New London was eldest son of their eldest brother in England. In the interesting testimony given after the death of John Smith when his nephew Edward was trying to break his will, John was quoted as saying that he was "stripped to his shirt" in the Civil War, indicating that the family, a Puritan one, had suffered severe losses before coming to New England to rebuild their fortunes.
