Notes
a. Note:   652. Prior to 1664 he removed to VA, with letters from him dated at Roanoke, VA addressed to Rev. Bulkely concerning his action amounting to desertion of his wife. Married Rebecca SMITH (b. about 1631), daughter of Rev. Henry and Dorothy SMITH. Whether Samuel deserted his wife for his own purposes or to provide her a basis for divorce is subject to one's interpretation of archival materials. Following the divorce Rebecca married by 1669 Nathaniel BOWMAN, Jr. (b. Mar. 6, 1640, Watertown, Middlesex Co., MA; d. 1707), a mutual friend of Wethersfield. Samuel and Rebecca SMITH had no children.
Note:   Probably the Lt. Samuel SMITH in New London, CT from Weathersfield in 1
