I received a fax from someone on the web claiming to have an original
genealogy of John Smith Sr. He said he recently bought a very old house
and found them while cleaning out the attic (or basement). Well, since
I do not know where my Smith's come from, I promptly asked for and
received this line.

John Smith Sr.-1616

Nicholas Smith-on or before 1640

Samuel Smith 1665-Crab Meadows Long Island

Amoss smith 1707 Huntington

etc,

etc,

etc,

I have tow lines of Smith's.
