Hi All,
Maj. Henry SMITH (abt 1643, probably VA -- aft 6/4/1685, probably Old Rappahannock Co., VA) m Elizabeth HODGSKIN/HODGKINS. Their children:
1. Henry SMITH
2. Toby SMITH
Sources:
Daniel Dobyns of Colonial Virginia Chapter II, "Electronic,"
Will of Maj. Henry SMITH designating (without naming) his wife and naming his sons TOBY and HENRY. Executors of the will were his wife and EDWARD ADCOCK, husband of Major HENRY SMITH's sister ELIZABETH. Overseers of the will were Col. WILLIAM LOYD and Mr. SAMUEL PEACHEY, first cousin of ELIZABETH (GODSON?) SMITH. ELIZABETH SMITH and EDWARD ADCOCK did not get along well together as executors, and she finally sued to force him to "desist from his abusive language toward her".
Daniel Dobyns of Colonial Virginia Chapter II, "Electronic,"
When FRANCES GODSON died unmarried in 1686, she left a will written on 27 Jan 1685/6 and proved 7 Apr 1686 in which she left her money to be divided between HENRY SMITH and TOBY SMITH (sons of Major HENRY SMITH), her land to HENRY SMYTH and the rest of her property together with "what may come out of England from my Unkle" to Mrs. ELIZABETH SMITH
Old Rappahannock Co. Va. W&DB 6 (1682-1686) p 126

... was own sister of Mrs. Elizabeth Dobbins &William Hodgskin was their brother. Mrs. Elizabeth Dobbins was wife of Daniel Dobbins/Dobbines.
Please excuse any errors, I have not verified all this information.
Can anyone trace Toby and Henry SMITH, children of Maj. Henry SMITH and Elizabeth HODGSKIN/HODGKINS?
Also, I am still attempting to locate information for William SMITH brother of Maj. Henry SMITH and s/o Col. Tobias SMITH and Phoebe FAUNTLEROY. This is my husband's direct line.
Thanks,
Linda Cashen Gaunt
