Crowell Smith was a descendant of John Smith, supposedly born in Ludgate Hill, BUT his papers contain information on several of the other Smith families (and others) in the Glanford area that all intermarried. (And I have a copy of his papers- some of which are unfortunately unreadable in whole or part.)
The Sara Smith, b. 18 Mar 1825, that married Jacob Durfey, is the daughter of Lewis Smith Jr. and Sarah Freeman. Lewis is the grandson of Jacob Smith Sr., U.E., whose family were the first settlers in Glanford Twp., and no link between Jacob and John Smith is known

For geographical correctness, Townsend Twp., is part of Norfolk Co., not Wentworth Co.A good many of the Smiths and other families ended up in the various parts of Kent Co., e.g. Blenheim.
