• Notes

  Notes from "RI Genealogical Register," Vol. 13, Some Lines of Descent from Richard Smith of Bristol, RI, pp. 234 - 254: There were two early RI settlers named Richard Smith -- one who lived at Wickford, Kingstowne (his property now known as Smith's Castle), and the other at Bristol. This is the one who settled in Bristol. Richard Smith came from England to Boston, MA, in 1673. On 9 Nov 1680 he moved to Bristol, RI, where he lived for the remainder of his life. He was one of the original proprietors of Bristol, and was its first town clerk. He built his house at the corner of Hope and Constitution Streets. He took the oath of fidelity in Bristol on 20 June 1683.
