Notes
a. Note:   g to the history, Francis married Agnes Wilson in Ireland and came to America about 1727 with his wife and three sons: John, Hugh and William. He settled first in Haverhill, Essex Co., Mass., where children Margaret and David were born. 16 years later he moved to Windham, Rockingham Co., NY, a town so divided that the family actually lived in Londonderry, NH. The "Haverhill Vital Records Before 1850" have many entries for descendants in this family who remained in Mass. Probably the family did not actually move to NH; Haverhill was divided and one part became a part of NH. Agnes was probably living in her son David's household in Dunstable at the time she died at age 99. Francis's death is recorded in the above referenced Ezra Sterns document. Agnes's death is recorded in the "Dunstable, Mass. Vital Records Before 1850". Two years after his death, his farm was sold to Alexander Park, whose daughter Mary married Hugh Smiley, Francis's son. Hugh and Mary moved to Winslow Maine.
Note:   Francis Smiley was of a Scots-Irish family, descended from the Scotch Covanenters. A brief history of the family appears in the "Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire", Ezra S. Stearns, 1908, Vol III, p 1513. Accordin
