I have the following notes on John Smith:

€ John Smith suffered fines and imprisonment in Massachusetts for
refusing military duty. Forced aboard ship as a sailor to England. He
returned to America in 1705. Settled first at Philadelphia then Chester
Co., Pa. Memorials have periodically been written of him.

€ He married first Ann, daughter of Caleb Pusey, on 5 March 1706/7. In
1713 he moved to East Marlborough where the Society of Friends held
meetings in his home, this later became the Londongrove Meeting. He
married second, 6 August 1726 Dorothy Windle.

€ He was an elder and founder of Londongrove Meeting.

I descend from his second wife Dorothy Windle, by whom he had five children.

Hope this helps,
