Dorothy Martin (dau. of James Martin and wife, Frances) married Peter Smith. Their children:
1. Mary who m. first, John Medcalf by 1706 and secondly, John Johnson by 1707.
2. Peter. He was married and had at least 3 children, but I don't know who his wife was.
3. Sarah who m. William Howard by 1717.
4. Elizabeth who m. Robert Parsons 1717-1719.
5. Susanna who m. first, John Baptist Buckman 1719-1723; second, John Bowles, 1743-1744; and third, William Medcalf who was living in 1754.
I don't have parents for either the John or William Medcalf above.
"William Medcalf, son of George Medcalf and Elizabeth (Spink) married Susanna by 1725. Susanna survived him and married second, Ignatius Thompson by 11/16/1737."
I don't believe this Susanna is the same as Susanna Smith.
