  • Notes 
    • The question is: Are this Peter Smith and Peter Thacher Smith one and the same? According to Royal Ancestors 3, p. 278, this Peter and Peter Thatcher Smith, the son of Rev. Thomas and Sarah (Tyng) Smith, have the same birth date. The Bulkeley Genealogy has Peter Thatcher Smith's family defined on page 442, one wife, Elizabeth Wendell. The Glover Genealogy also has Peter Thacher Smith's family, p. 135-136, and gives him an additional wife later. So why not a 3rd earlier? Since this Peter's children were all born prior to Peter Thatcher Smith's marriage to Elizabeth Wendell, perhaps Sarah Appleton and Peter Smith divorced? Peter T. was in his 30s when he married Elizabeth, kind of late to be married the first time. Sarah died as the widow of Peter Smith, according to her headstone, but this really doesn't say much. Peter and Sarah's children were all baptized in Boston, where Peter Thacher Smith married his wife Elizabeth in 1765 as well as his wife Jane in 1801.

      He settled early at Vinalhaven, but after a few years, moved away and nothing was ever heard from him again. Many of the original settlers of Vinalhaven originated from the Falmouth area - the place of Peter Thacher Smith's supposed birth.
