Francis Smith married by about 1622 Alice _____.
They had two children: John & Benjamin.
Frederick Chester Warner included in this family a daughter Hannah, who married George Lilly at Reading on 15 November 1659. Such a marriage does appear in the published Reading vital records, but there is nothing to connect this Hannah Smith to the subject of this sketch. She would have been a young girl at the time of her father's will, but he did not name a daughter in that document. George and Hannah (Smith) Lilly had three children born at Reading: George, John and Samuel. These names do not provide any onomastic support for Warner's claim. Also in the Reading vital records are entries for the family of Matthew Smith. He was son of an earlier Matthew Smith, of Woburn, Reading and Charlestown, who was in turn son of an earlier Matthew Smith, of Charlestown. The immigrant had a daughter Hannah, who has been tentatively identified as the woman of that name who married Joseph Hills in November 1653; but she may instead have been the woman who married George Lilly.
In 1985 Robert Charles Anderson presented arguments connecting the 1635 passengers Alice Smith, aged 40, and John Smith, aged 13, as wife and son of the subject of this sketch. This conclusion is supported by the observation that John Smith, son of the subject of this sketch, died on 21 September 1706, aged 85, in close agreement with the age on the 1635 passenger list.
