    No attempt is here made to present a complete genealogy of the two Smith families involved. The will of Samuel Smith of Brooklyn (187o), naming ninety-eight relatives and referring to his ancestral abode in Huntington is of genealogical importance. This article is built around this will with sufficient extracts from other primary records to identify the entire line of his mother's family (also Smith) and to offer clues concerning his father's family. A thorough framework is therefore laid to aid others more seriously interested in these confusing interallied Smiths of Long Island, New York.

    At the Court of Common Pleas, May 24, 1703, Samuel Smith of Jamaica, aged about 67 years, and Elizabeth wife of Nehemiah Smith of the same, formerly wife of William Ludlam deceased of Southampton, aged about 70 years, depose that about 60 years ago John Smith, father of the said deponents, living in Taunton, Plymouth Colony, left there for Mashpate Kills, Queens County, then under the Dutch, and was there killed by the Indians; also that John Smith, eldest son of ye said John Smith, their father, and brother to these deponents, is now living in Hempstead, Queens County (Lib.

    * There may have been other children, and similarly the list of grandchildren of each member of the family is not complete. The present compiler has sought merely one will in each generation, so as to obtain an outline of the family.
    t The present compiler has made no attempt to identify definitely the Samuel Smith of Jamaica of the 2703 deposition with the one of the 2715 will, but the presumption is that they were one and the same person, especially inasmuch as ages dovetail.
