General Notes

Was one of seventeen original members , or founders, ofthe church at berwick, which was organized June 04, 1702. At age 13 he live at Kittery at Majr. Shapleigh's garrison-house. He then moved to Pemaquid with Henry Jocelyn for who he was a sevant . who was then a magistrate in the eastern parts, and lived with him several years at Pemaquid.The causes which led to the scattering of the Smalley family commenced with the outbreak of King Philip's war, in the summer of 1675. This war was especially disastous to the Maine settlements, so widely separated along the coast, and particularly ill-fitted to resist an invasion from Indians . All business was suspended, harvests were ungathered, and homes deserted. Those who lived on the outskirts of teh towns crowed into garrisons, or into the larger houses, which had been as strongly fortified as possible. Every able-bodied man was a soldier, or contibuited in some manner to the public weal. It was a sever struggle for bare existence.This condition continued, at intervals, for nearly twenty years.  It was truly a age of terror.In 1962, York was invaded by Indians, fifty to a hundred of her citizens of Maine were slain, and the village set on fire in many places at once. Every house was burned except the four garrisons. Kittery suffered to a lesseer degree, but the Indians occasionally pillaged the crops, took captive the women and children, fired houses, and assaulted their garrisons, as in other places.He was a active townsman in Kittery.
