Note: I don't think her last name was Smith, I think it was Rogers. I am having a bad time backtracking the info I found two years ago.
If I remember correctly, I had jumped ahead for three generations, through every middle name that sounded like a last name. I can't remember who had the name Rogers, that wasn't part of a spouse's family name. But I do remember it showed up a few times. Smith showed up once about 6-7 generations out.
Is their son Roger Eastman Jr; or, Rogers Eastman? I think there was something about that as well.
I think the Rogers family came to Salisbury with the Eastman family. The research records indicate that Rev. Ezekiel Rogers was the first to come from England to Rowley [Byfield], but the grave records indicate that this is not true. They were in Salisbury before the Eastman's trek to Byfield. The route by the Eastman and Rogers families is the same... Salisbury Byfield New Hampshire. I feel strongly that these two families were connected by marriage. The name Smith didn't show up in Salisbury until the second generation; but with no indication of birth in Salisbury. Richard Smith obviously was born in England and came over later. He, nor his family traveled with the Eastman's.
This information also gives 2nd indication as to Roger Eastman's position on the ship Confidence. Every household head was a Planter when they came to America, they had to be or they didn't survive. He had two sons that were Yeoman's? We don't have Yeoman's, England did. Sons of farmers rarely ever became dignitaries.
At this time we could consider it a strong possibility, but unfortunately, not an actual fact.
22 Apr 2013:
1) Rogers Eastman b. 16 Aug 1800, Newbury, MA d. 29 Aug 1860, Libson, NH Father: Daniel Eastman Mother: Mina Worthley (Census, etc used Roger as his name, but his birth and death records, and birth of children indicate that he was in fact 'Rogers' Eastman)
2) Elizabeth Rogers Eastman b. abt 1820, Salisbury, MA Father: Moses Eastman Mother: Eliza Sweetser
There were more, but I need a break. Feel free to share your findings.
12 Jul 2014: A family member sent this to me today, but it appears to be a guestimate because she also feels the marriage year is off.
