So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

BIOGRAPHY: Seek Ye Earnestly - pg 174 Robert landed in Boston and a few years later moved to Rowley and purchased one hundred eight acres of land in that part which later became the township of Boxford. He married Mary French, daughter of Thomas and Mary French. They were the parents of ten children. Samuel, son of Robert, was born January 26, 1666. He married Rebecca, daughter of John Curtis and moved to Topsfield and there became an influential member of the community and was highly respected, holding several positions of trust. He was the father of nine children. His son, Samuel, was born January 26, 1714, and became one of the most influential citizens of Massachusetts. The greater part of his life was spent in the service of the people. In the stormy days of the American Revolution he cast his lot with the Colonial forces. From 1760 to the year 1783, he was constantly in the service of his country. He was a member of the General Court, or House of Representatives, for four terms. He was a delegate to the Provincial Congress at Concord, in 1774 and again in 1775, and he bore arms during the Revolution. He married Priscilla, daughter of Zacheus Gould. His wife died shortly after the birth of their son Asael. Samuel married again, the cousin of his first wife, also named Priscilla. At his death in November, 1785, the Salem Gazette spoke of him in these words: Died-At Topsfield, on Monday, the 13th instant, Samuel Smith, esquire. So amiable and worthy a character as he evidently appeared both in public and private, will render the memory of him ever precious. For a number of years he represented the town in the General Court, where he was esteemed a man of integrity and uprightness. His usefulness among those with whom he was more immediately conversant was eminent. He was a sincere friend to the liberties of his country, and a strenuous advocate for the doctrines of Christianity. The memory of the just be blessed.
