He married (1st) JOAN BARTON, who was born about 1599[17] in Gloucestershire[17].

To Taunton, Mass
1637 to Kingston, RI
W. D. dated before 1664
(Wife Died?)
"Topograph. Dict...":
Came from ?, Gloustershire, England to Taunton; Kingston, RI (Austin Gen.

Her son Richard Smith, Jr., then Major and Chief Commander of His Majesty's Militia, wrote from his home in Naragansett on Oct. 22, 1669, to his "unkell, William Barton, Morton, Gloucestershire," in which he desires to be remembered to his aunt (name indistinct, but looks like Toland). This letter was found among the familiy papers of the Smiths of Nibley, Gloucestershire.[11]
He was apparently NOT the son of John Smyth and Mary Browning of Nibley, who were married in 1609. Their son Richard was apparently born 1631.[14]
Phillimore, in 1894, suggested that this Richard Smith of Narragansett was the son of Richard Smith, the son of William Smith of Humberstone (the earliest known ancestor). Hence, he would be the cousin, not the son, of John Smith who married Mary Browning.[11]
