  • Notes: 

  • The will of Rebecca (Smith) Munro, dated 16 MAY 1826, mentions "last will and testament of my Hon'd father Richard Smith Deceased."

    Published sources disagree on Rebecca's death date giving either 31 MAR 1827 or 03 NOV 1827. The former is from a transcription of her tombstone, while the latter comes from a transcribed Rhode Island death index. Further evidence is needed to confirm either of these dates.
