The temple record shows this as Smith's
The temple record shows this as Smith's death date, improbable in the extreme, considering his birth date. Based on surrounding records, this is probably the endowment date.
A copy of his will is available in Stoni
A copy of his will is available in Stonington, Conn. It states that his property is to be divided among his 3 sons after their mother's death. His movable property is to be divided among his 5 daughters.

child born to a Mary Grant (SEE BELOW). Entry is immediatly before entry for
marriage of Daniel Smith and Mary Grant on 22 Feb 1667. Could this be Susanna

birth? There is no entry for a Susanna or a Susannah in Source CH079

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!)."
