I am working to untangle the story of John Smith of Leicester, Addison Co., VT. In the History of Leicester there is a Captain John Smith that as in the town's political scene after the American Revolution. I believe this is my ancestor, John Smith, who had a daughter named Hepsibah Smith Chapman (married to Nathaniel Chapman). With a name like "John Smith" it is difficult to make sure, especially when there is a John Smith in Rutland, VT at the same time that also came from Litchfield Co., CT. Is there anyone that can do some research in Leicester or the surrounding area - or someone that knows of the Smith family from there?
