The "Jesse Smith, his Ancestors and Descendants" by L. Bertrard Smith 1909 page 93 shows details of his life.

See "Genealogy of the Hibbard Family Who are Descendants of Robert Hibbard of Salem, MA" by Augustine George Hibbard dated 1901 pages 9- 11 which shows he was baptized 13 March 1613 in Salisbury, England. On page 13 the author could not find any record which showed he came with Governor John Winthrop as shown below.

See "A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, showing Three Generations of Those Who Came Before May, 1692, on the Basis of Farmer's Register" by James Savage Vol II dated 1860 page 408 on CD by Archive CD Books. Shows wife and death date and location at age 72. It appears that Savage has mixed up birth dates and baptisms dates for the children of this family as stated on page 11-12 of the "Genealogy of the Hibbard Family Who are Descendants of Robert Hibbard of Salem, MA" by Augustine George Hibbard dated 1901.

1684 death IGI was in Beverly, Essex Co., MA. Dr Bangs' book page 40 he died in Salem.

1655 birth of daughter Abigail in England is per the IGI.

1640 marriage from IGI. Needs confirmation with ch records. The "Jesse Smith, his Ancestors and Descendants" by L. Bertrard Smith dated 1909 page 93 shows he married Joan Fairfield.

1630 sailed with Governor John Winthrop on the ship Arbella (may have been in the fleet of several ships) from Salisbury (may be Cowes) on 29 March 1630, England, to Salem, MA arrived 14 June 1630. He was a salt maker who was granted 640 acres by King Charles I per Dr. Bang's book on the life of P.F. Bresee page 40.
FAQ: Was my ancestor aboard the Arbella? ANSWER: From Winthrop's journal, we know only that Gov. John Winthrop and Rev. George Phillips took passage aboard the Arbella. By other reliable sources, we think Sir Richard Saltonstall, William Hathorne, Rev. John Wilson and their families, and probably Increase Nowell and Thomas Dudley crossed the Atlantic in the Arbella as well. No mention of Robert Hibbard on the Winthrop Society web site www.winthropsociety.org.

1613 - See Carolyn Older Salk file. Christened 13 June 1613 St. Edmunds, Wilshire, England. Needs to be confirmed from church records. IGI has birth 13 Mar 1612/1613. The "Jesse Smith, his Ancestors and Descendants" by L. Bertrard Smith 1909 page 93 shows him baptized 13 March 1613.
