Jeremiah Smith

Notes:

The marriage record at Warwick identifies Jeremiah's father as John.

Jeremiah's will dated 19 Mar 1715/16 mentions by name his wife Mary, three sons, and three daughters (with married names). John is identified as the eldest son and Sarah the eldest daughter; also mentioned are grandchildren Mary & Jeremiah Smith, presumably both children of John.

I have estimated the birth years of some of Jeremiah & Mary's children.
