Linkage
According to an ancient tradition in the family, the earliest known ancestor of the SMITHS of Durham, N. H., was George SMITH of Willoughby, Lancashire, England. He was of a family that had dwelt for some two hundred years at Old Haugh, in the County of Chester, and was related to the HATTONS of the same county, who afterward removed to the County of Lincolnshire. Among other heirlooms handed down through successive generations in Durham, N. H., and until about 1870 in the possession of a direct descendant, was a coat of arms, the, same as that borne by the HATTON family. The other heirlooms were a coat of mail, a silver tankard, a set of silver buttons, an old silver watch marked” Thos. Jones, London, 5,625,” an old ” cutlass, etc., which were doubtless brought from England by those members of the English family who first settled in this country.
The first of the family known to have settled in New England was George SMITH, thought to have been a grandson of the George SMITH above mentioned, and supposed to have been an ancestor of the SMITHS of Oyster River, now Durham, N. H. This supposition is supported by the family traditions, by old manuscripts and other records, and by the heirlooms above referred to. This George SMITH sailed from Plymouth, England, and landed at Boston “when there were only a few huts built there and not a cellar dug.” Thence he went to “Smith’s Isles,” now the Isles of Shoals, and from there to the mainland again, and settled at Dover, N. H., “when it was but an infant plantation.” He was a prominent man in the new settlement, having been Recorder from 1640 to 1653, and Town Clerk of Dover as well, during the years 1645-47. He seems also to have been Clerk of the Provincial Court, and was selected as the Senior Commissioner for trials at law. He was Lieutenant of a Company raised at Dover for defense against the Indians, at that time an office of note and importance. The first book of the Record of Deeds in Dover is in his handwriting, in which it appears that he sometimes spelled his name “SMYTH.” He is named among those who were the first freemen of the town of Dover. In 1640-41, Dover was independent, and it was not until 14th Apr. of the last-named year, that it placed itself under the government of Massachusetts. In the newly formed administration of the town, he held the offices already named. A deed given by him is on record as late as 1653.
Generation No. 1
1. GEORGE1 SMITH
Children of GEORGE SMITH are:
2. i. JOSEPH2 SMITH, b. 1639, New Hampshire; d. December 15, 1728, Settled at Oyster River, New Hampshire.
JOSEPH SMITH, b. 1639; d. 15th Dec. 1728. Settled at Oyster River, where he had a grant of land on the north side of the river, about half a. mile from its mouth, and built a garrison. He was one of the twelve spoken of in BELKNAP’S history of New Hampshire as having been preserved in the attack of the French and Indians in 1694. He lived and d. on this property, and was buried here. Tis tombstone is thus inscribed: H Sacred to the Memory of Joseph Smith, who died Dec. IS, 1728, aged 89. He was the first European who cultivated the soil in which his remains are deposited.” The adjoining tombstone bears this inscription: U Sacred to the Memory of Elizabeth Smith, wife of Joseph Smith, who died” “May 25, 1727.” The lands upon which this ancestor settled are held to this day by his descendants. Joseph SMITH was a large landowner. He seems to have had a leaning toward the Society of Quakers, and remembered that Society in his will, recorded in the Probate Office at Exeter. Indeed, he was once fined for attending a meeting of the Friends, whose peculiar doctrines subjected them at that time to much contempt and even persecution. Joseph SMITH was, however, the first Clerk of Dover Monthly Meeting, 1702, and afterwards was Selectman several times, held other offices, and is said to have held a judicial office in the Province. There is no doubt that the SMITH Garrison of 1694 was upon Joseph SMITH’S place on the north side of Oyster River. The great attack of the French and Indians upon the Oyster River plantation was made on 17th July, 1694- Joseph Smith “being Quakerly inclined,” was probably not a fighting man, but Captain John, his eldest son, had already gained some skill and reputation in Indian fighting, and it was to his courage and experience that the garrison owed its preservation. m, Elizabeth BICKFORD, who d. 25th May, 1727.
ii JOHN SMITH.
It has been believed by the family that Capt. John SMITH, of Virginia, was connected by blood with the first ancestor, George SMITH,” of Willoughby, Lancashire, England. Capt. John SMITH, as is shown by the inscription upon the monument erected to his memory at the Isles of Shoals (originally discovered by him and formerly named” Smith’s Isles “ from him), was also h. in Willoughby, and the date of his birth is about contemporaneous with that of the George SMITH from whom the family is descended. Some weight, also, must be given to the family tradition to the same effect, which seems to have had its foundation with the first settlers of the name who came from Willoughby to New England.
GEORGE SMITH went to “Smith’s Isles” and lived there for a time, shortly after his arrival in this country. m, (wife’s name unknown) and left issue.
iii. JAMES SMITH.

CAPT. JOHN SMITH, of Oyster River, b. on his father’s place, 9th Jan. 1669 j d. 14th May, 1744, after a life full of exciting events, and during which he amassed a very considerable fortune. He it was who “defended so successfully” the garrison at the mouth of Oyster River, then commanded by his father, the attack. upon it being made when he was just finishing his honeymoon, his marriage to Susannah CHESLEY having been consummated but a few weeks before. He commenced his business life as a land surveyor, in which connection his name is frequently met with in the town records, and gradually added to his property until he became one of the largest real estate owners and wealthiest men of his section. He seems to have kept” open house ” at the garrison, and tradition glows with accounts of the liberality and hospitality displayed’ by the father and sons at the old homestead. They seem to have made an excellent use of their large wealth. At that time the lumber trade of the section was very extensive, and in this Capt. John SMITH was actively engaged, owning several sawmills which were very profitable to him. He was an unusually active and industrious man, and seems to have possessed great business tact and acumen. He was Selectman of Dover in 1711, ’12, ’13, “20, ’24, ’25, and “27. m, 1691, Susannah CHESLEY, d. 24th Mar. 1746, dau, of Capt. Thomas and Elizabeth (THOMAS) CHESLEY.

Notes for VALENTINE SMITH:
VALENTINE SMITH, b. 26th May, 1774, at the old homestead at Lubberland; d. 1869. This old place was called “Red Rock,” after the color of a large rock which lies in the bay, just off from the shore. The old garrison, which had formerly been owned and occupied by the family) had by this time passed out of its possession, and that part of the old “Homestead Plantation” inherited by Lieut. John, the father of Valentine, was all that remained in the possession of the family of the extensive lands originally held by their ancestry.
Valentine SMITH, during his long life, was one of the most useful, prominent and respected citizens of Durham. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy during the year 1799-18oo, and for several years taught school in various localities. His tall stature and robust physique made him a terror to the unruly pupils of that day, many of them quite as big as their master, and on one occasion at least he put down by heroic measures a rebellion against his discipline. After teaching school he became a surveyor, and this profession he soon adopted as his principal business. In 1802 he was elected Town Surveyor, and in the same year First Selectman and Town Clerk, and as long as he was able and willing to serve he held one or more of the town offices. Particularly in those years when the town was in any difficulty, he was elected to the control of affairs. From his election in 1802, he served as Town Clerk for thirty years. In 1806 he was elected to the Legislature, and served also in the sessions of 1806, ’08, ’09, ’10, ’14 and ’15. He was several times nominated for the Senate, but declined on each occasion to be a candidate. He was appointed in 1819 to the bench of the Common Pleas Court of Stratford County, and served as Judge until 1822, when he received the appointment as Chief Justice; and in this capacity he served during the three succeeding years. His contemporaries unite in speaking of his political and judicial life as characterized by the most unflagging energy, integrity and utility in behalf of his constituents.

Notes for HAMILTON SMITH:
HAMILTON SMITH, b. 19th Sept. 1804; d. in Washington, 7th Feb. 1875. His father personally superintended his earlier reading and study, and at fifteen he entered Phillips Exeter Academy, at that time under the charge of the celebrated Dr. Benjamin Abbott. He entered the class of 1829 at Dartmouth, and was graduated with high honors. He was at Dartmouth at the same time as Salmon POI CHASE, and a friendship was there begun which continued under circumstances of unusually close and warm intimacy until the death of that distinguished man. After Mr. SMITH’S graduation in 1829, he went to Washington, and there took charge of a school, as successor to his friend, Mr. CHASE, who had graduated at Dartmouth the year before. He studied law there under the direction of Mr. WOODBURY and William WIRT, and in 1832 was admitted to the Bar. Shortly afterwards, he removed to Louisville, Ky., and in a few years achieved such success at his profession that his practice was doubtless the largest and most profitable held by any lawyer in the West. After fifteen years of practice, he had accumulated a handsome fortune, and in I840 he invested largely in an extensive tract of coal land at Cannelton, Ind. By I848 he had organized a company which constructed a model cotton mill at Cannelton. He relinquished the practice of law and moved there with his family, being elected President of bath the Cotton Mill Company and of the Cannelton Coal Company. He retained the latter office until, a short time before his death, he moved to Washington.
While taking an active part in political movements only upon two or three occasions, Hamilton SMITH was always in more or less intimate relationship with the great leaders and issues of the Democratic party. In 1858-59 he was prevailed upon to serve in the Indiana Legislature. He was a delegate to the Chicago Convention which nominated General MCCLBLLAN in 1864, and in I868 he was present at the New York Democratic Convention as the confidential friend of Chief Justice CHASE, and was understood to be, and acted as, the exponent of that statesman’s views and sentiments. He was a delegate to the several Southern and Southwestern commercial conventions held at Charleston, Memphis, Louisville and elsewhere, and took an active part in the discussions and deliberations of those bodies. After his removal from Cannelton to Washington, he was engaged upon a biography of his friend Chief Justice CHASE, but death came before he had completed it. Few men in the West have left so beneficial and enduring an imprint of mind and energy upon its material progress.
