Watertown, MA. He may be the same Daniel SMITH who was b. 27 Sep 1642,
Watertown, MA, son of Daniel and Elizabeth (ROGERS) SMITH, although I have not
seen proof one way or the other. The will of the older Daniel SMITH was dated
14 Jul 1660, and his inventory was taken 24 Sep 1660. Elizabeth ROGERS was
daughter OF Thomas and Grace ( ) ROGERS of Watertown (not Thomas ROGERS of
the Mayflower!)."
