(Bef 15 Jun 1566 - 25 Sep 1610)

== Biography ==
John was baptised 15 Jun 1566 in Deerhurst, Gloucestershire, England. His father's name was [[Smith-7467|Thomas Smith]]."England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975," [https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J9QT-CY8 familysearch], John Smithe, 15 Jun 1566, Deerhurst, Gloucester, England, father: Thomas Smithe, Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C02784-3, System Origin: England-ODM, GS Film number: 991281.

==Research Notes==John has previously been shown as son of [[Smith-7467|Thomas Smith]] and [[Alleyne-5|Joan Alleyne]]. There is no evidence for this, and it is fairly clearly a misidentification. Thomas and Joan lived in Leicestershire, and their son, a different John, was an antiquarian and genealogist with entries in the ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'',''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', entry for 'Smyth, John (1567-1641)', print and online 2004, revised online 2008, available online via some libraries ''Dictionary of National Biography'' ''Dictionary of National Biography'', 1885-1900, Vol. 53, p. 73, [https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Smith,_John_(1567-1640)_(DNB00) Wikisource] and History of Parliament Online.History of Parliament Online, entry for [http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1604-1629/member/smith-john-1567-1641 SMITH (SMYTH), John (1567-1641), of Warrens Court, North Nibley, Glos.] The parents-child relationship was clearly wrong and John has been detached.
