*History of Martha's Vineyard [Internet]: "The earliest record found relating to him here is on June 6, 1654, when he was chosen as one of the magistrate's assistants. [Edgartown Records, I, 122.] He may be the "Smith" who on May 8, 1653, drew a lot in the Planting Field. [Ibid., I, 172.] Further mention of him occurs in 1656 and 1659, [John Smith "of Martins Vin Yard" had a suit against Jonas Weed late of Southampton, L. I., in an action of debt in the Connecticut Courts 1657. (Mainwaring, Digest of Connecticut Wills, I, 113.)] and in the latter year he became connected with the movement to settle Nantucket. He was a witness to the deed of conveyance of that island July c, 1659, and later in the same year was chosen one of the ten Associate Proprietors to settle on the land in equal shares with the original purchasers. [Macy, "History of Nantucket," 32.] Thenceforth he became active in the development of that island, although retaining his property interests here. He was of the Edgartown train band in 1662, and his name is mentioned in the town records in 1660, 1663, and 1664, either as drawing lots in the various divisions of the common land or in other minor connections. After that it is believed he removed to Nantucket to spend his declining years.

His home lot was on Tower Hill, just north of the cemetery in that locality, and descended to his son Philip by will."
