The source of most of the information below is unknown to me. You may wish to use it as a starting point for your own research. In early 2004, Bill Smith of Connecticut provided some additional information. It is designated in the text below by italic print (like this) in parenthesis.

Generation No. 1

1.  ITHIEL1 SMITH was born 1741(March 22 1740) in Brentwood, NH, (Kingston, Rockingham, NH) and died June 18 (June 17), 1821 in Newry, Maine.  He married (1) BATHSHEBA FOOTE 1766 (1776) in New Hampshire.  She was born Abt. 1751 in NH, and died Abt. 1778 in Prob. NH.  He married (2) ANN BEAN Abt. 1779 in Bethel, Maine, daughter of JONATHAN BEAN and ABIGAIL GORDON.  She was born March 19, 1753 in Chester, NH, (Kingston, Rockingham, NH) and died December 19, 1821 in Newry, Maine.

Notes for ITHIEL SMITH:

Ithiel Smith settled on the Bear River, Newry about 1780. He purchased land from Sarah Boswick for $500.  At some point he moved to Bethel, but came back to Newry.  He is buried close to where he probably built his home, at a small family cemetery located close to Newry Corner.  Many of the people buried at the cemetery were children, members of the same family, possible victims of a diptheria epidemic in the early 1850's.

Africa was a blacksmith by trade and listed in the 1850 census as of Rumford, Maine.  Don't know what if any relationship he had with Ithiel.
