From the NHGSR: v. 59, 1905, p. 107-8:
“PACKARD-SMITH.--Mitchell, in his History of Bridgewater, says of Nathaniel Packard (Samuel) that he married, probably, a daughter of John Kingman. Kingman’s History of North Bridgewater and the “Genealogy of Samuel Packard,” 1871, repeat this statement as a fact.
The settlement of the estate of John Kingman, made Mar. 13, 1690-1, names the eldest son [John], second son, Henry, third son, Samuel, and “three daughters.” These were Elizabeth, who married, Jan. 1, 1696, Thomas Mitchell, Deliverance, who married Jacob Mitchell, the same date, and Susanna, who married Dec. 6, 1699, Chilton Latham. The “three daughters” are therefore accounted for.
Below are proofs that Nathaniel Packard’s wife was daughter of John Smith of Taunton:
“In Taunton January th twenty first in th year sixteen hundered ninety and five or six then I the subscriber Received of Thomas Leonard Executor to the Estate of my father in law John Smith deceased an Iron pot & pot hooks and a brass kettle and a tramill all to the vallue of twenty four shillings towards my wives due out of said deceased Estate as witness my hand the day and year above writte. Nnatanie T. Packard
John Smith of Taunton, eldest surviving son of John Smith, late of Taunton, conveys to Nathaniel and Lydia Packerd of Bridgewater, heirs to the estate of John Smith, father of said Lydia, one half a share in Taunton North Purchase, which is one half a riht which originally belonged to John Smith deceased. Dated Mar. 9, 1702.
John Smith was son of Henry Smith of Dedham. He married (1) Lydia, daughter of Philip Eliot of Roxbury. They lived at Dedham, Medfield and Taunton. Roxbury Church Records mention her dismissal from Roxbury to the church at Taunton, in 1666. Their children were:
Elizabeth, b. Dedham, Oct. 18, 1658
Lydia, b. Dedham, Apr. 10, 1660
Elizabeth, b. Taunton, Sept. 7, 1663
Henry, b. Taunton, May 27, 1666; d. Medfield, Aug. 30, 1673.”
Lydia, the mother, having died July 21, 1672 at Taunton, John Smith married (2) Nov. 15, 1672, Jael Packard (Samuel), and had, b. at Taunton:
Deborah, b. Mar. 7, 1676
Hannah, b. Mar. 22, 1678
John, b. Dec. 6, 1680
John Smith, the father, made his will June 5, 1690, which was proved Jan. 12, 1691-2, in which he named his son John, under 21, son Seth (probably younger than John, as the latter received a larger share of his father’s estate), his wife’s son Nicholas Jones and “four daughters.” He appointed his brother Samuel Smith of Medfield (who died Oct. 25, 1691) and Capt. Thomas Leonard of Taunton, his executors.”
