John Smith may have immigrated with the Eaton-Davenport Company to New Haven in 1639. He was a settler in Milford by 1640, and presumed to have come from Hertfordshire, England. He married Grace Hawley.

His inventory was taken December, 1684 leaving a large estate for that time of 513 pounds, 3 shillings, and 9 pence. His will named his wife, Grace; son, Ephraim Smith, daughter, Mary Gunn; daughter Mehitabel Camp; and son, John Smith. He appointed his brethren, Capt. John Beard & Mr. NICHOLAS CAMP (my ancestor), to be overseers.
