Per email from Alice Algood
William Smith married first Frances Walters,daughter of Roger, and second a widow Anne Danks. I have a transcription of his Will wherein he named his daughters, Temperance Lucas, Mary King, and the children of a deceased daughter,who married Charles Ashton. These grand daughters were Jane and Sarah Ashton. I have been unable to find this daughter's given name, but suspect she may have been named Frances after her mother.
According to the Maryland Colonial Records, Robert Smith and others fled to the house of John Mottrom in VA from the Isle of Kent in 1646.
This is all in a book that I am finishing on Ursula Bysshe who married Richard Thompson on the Isle of Kent in 1641.
