Smith Family Genealogy Forum: John Smith, 1700 NY-1760 NJ, m. Mary Smith; posted by Susan Peters Zmrzel on Dec. 5, 1997: My maternal 7th great grandfather is John (Hunting John) Smith b. 17 Dec. 1700 in Long Island, NY the son of John (Justice John) Smith and Elizabeth Wicks.

Hook. Smith, Grant and Irons families of New Jersey's shore counties. p. 8: John Smith 2 (John 1) ... was born in 1633 and died on Long Island in 1720 and was called "Jesstice or Justice John of Long Island". He married first Elizabeth Gildersleeve in 1660. Elizabeth (Gildersleeve) Smith died in New York in 1690. Justice John Smith married, secondly, in 1698, Elizabeth. This Elizabeth died in New Jersey (probably Egg Harbor) in 1740. John Smith's children by his first wife were, (1) James Smith 3 (2) Felix Smith 3 (3) Isaac Smith 3 (4) Ephraim Smith 3 (5) a daughter who married Mr. Farmer. By his second wife .. he had (6) John Smith 3, b. on Long Island ...
p. 17: John Smith Jr, then [i.e., in 1703] living in Hempstead, L.I. Evidently he was the John Smith whom Mrs. Rundstrom ... referred to as having been born in 1633 and died on Long Island in 1720 and was the father of John Smith, born 17 Dec. 1700/01. Because of his age in 1700/01 one wonders if the John Smith of Great Egg Harbor born in the same year might not have been a great grandson of John Smith 1 who was killed by Indians rather than a grandson.

Smith, Herbert F. "John Strickland of Long Island and his sons-in-law". In The American Genealogist, v. 11, pp. 81-87, 206-208: The Smith Connection: Through research conducted by Mr. James F. Morton of Patterson, New Jersey, Mr. Combes, Town Historian of Hempstead, N.Y., and Mr. Arthur S. Wardwell, of Brooklyn, N.Y., the connections of certain Smiths resident in Hempstead and in Jamaica, New York, in the early part of the seventeenth century have been in great part clarified and delimited.
John Smith, son-in-law of John Strickland, has been proven to be the one characterized as "Blue" in the records of Hempstead township. he was one of the earliest residents of that place and a contemporary of John Smith, "Rock," from whom he was distinguished not only by the above appellation but occasionally as "junior" in contrast to the other's "senior." Subsequently, several other John Smiths appear in the vicinity, and the ubiquity of the name compelled the town clerk of Hempstead to classify them by their current nicknames. It is fortunate that this was done, otherwise the problem of disentangling one John Smith from another would be insuperable.
John Smith "Blue" is of record in various town lists and in the official rate list of 1683. He was a shoemaker, and attained to a position of some prominence in the community. He was elected constable April 1, 1676; and was one of four delegates sent to the Governor at New York to treat concerning the town lands.
His relationship to John Strickland is cited in the published tabulation and synopsis of official documents on file with the Secretary of State at Albany, N.Y., and this reference is extended in the printed Town Records of North and South Hempstead, vol. 1, p. 331 and in those following, and at p. 360. In the documents listed by the Secretary of State are warrants to the constable of Hempstead to summon Robert Williams and John Ellison to answer the complaint of John Smith, Mr. Strickland's son-in-law, at the Jamaica Court of Sessions, June 3, 1678. (27:121). In the subsequent litigation this John Smith is called John Smith "Blue" and John Smith "Junior." From the latter it is inferred as stated, that this was to distinguish him from John Smith, "Rock."
A John Smith "Junior" died March 12, 1683, but the inventory of his estate, together with the continued appearance of John Smith "Blue" in Hempstead town records, show that these were not identical. This John Smith "Junior" is believed to be son of John Smith "Rock."
The Hempstead Land Reports of 1727-1742 (printed town records, vol. VIII) mention lands transferred to Abel Smith from the property of John Smith "Junior" and John Smith "Blue," junior. Abel Smith appears with others in the Hempstead, New York, 1698 Census in the family of a John Smith who presumably had a wife Sarah (unfortunately this record gives no nickname for John Smith); and he is without question the Abel Smith who married (second) Deborah Udall at Jamaica, January 15, 1715. [footnote: Cf. The American Genealogist, vol. X, p. 206] Abel Smith was born in 1671, and therefore he was a youth in the family of John Smith in 1698.
It may be inferred from the foregoing that Abel Smith was a descendant of John Smith "Blue." In Queens' County Deeds, Liber 2, at p. 253 appears a statement concerning "land mostly laid out to John Smith Blue now in possession of Abel Smith," reinforcing this conclusion. From the dates, it is reasonable to suppose that he was grandson [footnote: The writer acknowledges with many thanks the kind assistance of Mr. Morton and his colleagues in Smith research, but assumes personal responsibility for the conclusions suggested above, realizing that some of these are tentative, and may be subject to possible revision.] of John Smith "Blue," and that the family in the census included members of both antecedent generations. If the wife of John Smith "Blue" (senior) is the Sarah Smith recorded in the 1698 Census, it would provide the given name of this daughter of John Strickland.

"The Abel Smiths of Hemstead, Long Island, and some of their descendants," contributed by Anne E. Smith. In The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, v. 53, January 1922, no. 1, pp. 12-17. p. 12: These Smiths of Hempstead, Long Island, were English colonists who settled at that place early in its history; and, like others of the early settlers of that place, were probably of Puritan stock. When or by what route they came, we have been unable to ascertain.
Hempstead was settled in 1644 by a group of Englishmen and their families who went across Long Island Sound from New England and located on land which they bought from the Indians the previous year. See Thompson's History of Long Island for an interesting and condensed history of Hempstead.
p. 13: Definite records of this particular Smith family begin with Abel Smith of Cow Neck, born probably between 1675 and 1680; but there is conclusive evidence that the family was established in Hempstead at least a generation earlier, as will appear. (Cow Neck was a part of Hempstead and is now Manhasset Neck).
The father of Abel Smith was probably John Smith, for in the Hempstead census of 1698 we find the following group: "Mr. John Smith, Mrs. Sarah Smith, Josiah Smith, Abell Smith, Daniell Smith, Sarah Smith." (no ages given). As this was a house-to-house census, and as this group is enumerated in the order given, we conclude that it was one family, -- Mr. John Smith being the father and Abel Smith one of the sons. Identification of the family is not difficult as there is but one Abell Smith in the census.
What John Smith this was we can only infer, as there is no distinguishing suffix to his name and there were other John Smiths then living in Hempstead. He is the only John Smith to whom is given the prefix of Mr. in the census, which shows that he was a person of some importance and distinction. Now as to his identity. There is indication in the Records that Abel Smith was descended from John Smith "Blue" (or "Blew"): notably in a deed of March 3d, 1706 (Queens County Deeds, B.2, 253) where certain land on Cow Neck is spoken of as "mostly laid out to John Smith 'Blue' now in possession of Abel Smith." ("Blue" was a suffix used to identify the particular John Smith referred to). And, in the awarding of the land in the Division of 1742, there is indication that Abel Smith was in some way connected with John Smith "Blue" (though this evidence is not conclusive). Identity of locality also would indicate that Abel Smith and John Smith "Blue" might have belonged to the same family; both being associated with Cow Neck. So that Mr. John Smith of the census of 1698 may have been either the John Smith "Blue" of the Hempstead Town Records, or he may have been John Smith, Jr. "Blew" mentioned in the eighth volume of Hempstead Town Records. That Abel Smith was descended from John Smith "Blue" was also the opinion of Mr. Geo. W. Cocks, a noted Long Island genealogist who wrote the author: "So far in my searches and from such deductions as one may make from the Hempstead Records, everything seems to point to John Smith (Blue) as being the father or grandfather of Abel, but I am not able to show the connection except by inference." This John Smith "Blue" or "Blew" was settled in his own house in Hempstead in 1659 and how much earlier we do not know. See Onderdonk's Annals of Hempstead, p. 40). He was elected Constable in Hempstead in 1676; he helped divide the land and determine the boundaries; he was chosen with others to go to New York in October 1684 to endeavor to purchase a Patent for the Town (this was the beginning of negotiations for the purchase of the Dongan Patent, 1685); and he went on several other occasions with others to see the Governor at New York about the Town's lands (See Hempstead Town Records, vols. I and II., and English Manuscript[s, XXVI, 70, 73). ...

The Abel Smith's were probably of Puritan stock but their ancestry and route of arrival in Hempstead is undiscovered. The father of Abel was probably John Blue Smith. In the 1698 census of Hempstead, Abel shows in that household along with Mr John Smith, Mrs Sarah Smith, and Josiah, Daniel, and Sarah. Whether John Blue was his father or grandfather has not been determined. Abel shows living in Cow Neck (Manhasset Neck). Abel also shows in a land deed of 3March1706 where land of John Blue Smith was now in the possession [of] Abel. Abel bought 50 acres of land in Cow Neck in 1703. In 1710, he sold this land and bought 270 acres of farm land in the west side of Great Neck on Little Neck Bay in 1710 and moved there. He remarried in 1715 Deborah Udall and they had children. Which ... were from Sarah or Deborah is not noted. In 1733, he and Deborah sold the Great Neck "Plantation" and bought a large tract at Secaucus, NY and built a mansion.

There were several Smith lines on Long Island at this time. They were the "Blue" Smith, "Rock" Smith, "Tangier" Smith, and "Bull" Smith families. Much has been written to sort out these lines.
John Smith was probably the father of Abel, as Abel is listed in the 1698 census of Hempstead as being in his household. The prefix Mr and Mrs are given to John and Sarah. Since a Sarah also married Abel, but after 1698, John's wife was Sarah. He is noted as John "Blue" Smith in land dealings of 1706. He is noted as settled in Hempstead in 1659. There is a possibility that John Jr was the father of Abel. John was a Constable of Hempstead in 1676, a very important post. He helped in the negotiations to purchase a patent for the Town, later the Dongan Patent of 1685.

"James Smith of Newtown, Long Island, his descendants in Huntington, and his brother John Smith of Hempstead," by Frederick C. Hart, Jr. In NYGBR, v. 134, July 2003, no. 3, pp. [163]-174. p. 168: John Smith, Jr., "Blew or Blue". John Smith Junior was also an original proprietor of Hempstead, therefore probably born before about 1625, and is believed to be the same person known as John Smith Blew/Blue, etc., who was still living in Hempstead in 1710. [footnote: The writer agrees with the many earlier reports of this identity (Donald L. Jacobus, "John Smith of Mespat," The American Genealogist , 25:66; Bailey, in "John Smith of Hempstead." Record 88:7, 10 and Long Island Families, 2:51, 54; and Combes, "Hempstead Proprietors," 32-33). The list of persons who contibuted land toward the Hempstead Patent in about 1685 includes the name of "John Smith blu" :166, original volume used. A transcription and citation also appears in Riker, Annals of Newtown, 20. Also see TAG 25:66 for additional evidence considered by Jacobus.] John Smith Jr. or Blue of Hempstead has been identified as the son of an earlier John Smith, formerly of Taunton in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts, who had migrated to Mespat on Long Island and was killed there by Indians in 1643. [footnote: This identification was made by Donald L. Jacobus based on evidence from both Hempstead and Jamaica Town Records (TAG 25:66).] Although a complete study of John Smith Blue's descendants has yet to be made, there is no indication that he or any of his siblings made any provision for the children of James Smith of Newtown, or had any other connection with any members of the James Smith family, or for that matter, any later connections with Newtown or Newtown families. As was the case with John Smith Rock, the names James and Jeremiah do not appear among the known descendants of John Smith of Taunton and Mespat. ...¹
