That's interesting that your last name is Small.
You have blown apart my theory on the split between Edward and Francis' descendants using Small and Smalley surnames.
My theory was that all of the desdendants who ended up settling in Truro, MA became Smalleys, and those that stayed in Maine ended up as a Small.
I know in the Vital Records of Truro, Francis is listed in the town minutes both as Small and other times as Smalley.
Regarding the Hannah Small / Smalley born 8 Apr 1720 in Eastham, Ma. died 1811 in Fredricksburg, N.Y. who married an Elisha Cole, born 1718, in Harwich 13 Dec. 1739. Ancestry .com has Elisha also marring a Priscilla Small.
Jim Veregge is a genealogist who has been researching this line for over 20 years. He has family connections to the Hannah Smalley that married Elisha Cole. Elisha Cole was married to Priscilla before he married Hannah. This is verified with the Cole family records.
Everyone assumes that Hannah Smalley and James Smalley were siblings, because they moved to Putnam County, NY together.
No one can prove who their parents were (if they were brother and sister).
Many people have Hannah and James Smalley being the children of James Smalley (Sr.) and Hannah Bickford, but the Hannah Bickford Smalley was born in 1730, which would have made her 12 years old when she would have married Elisha Cole.
Which is a problem.
Who do you have as the parents of this Hannah Smalley who was born in 1720?
This is great as it would make her old enough to marry Elisha Cole.
You also need to contact Jim Veregge at [email protected] has a ton of Small / Smalley records and could use this.
You are right about this family being difficult to research because they have so many duplicating and overlapping names among the generations, like Hannah and James.
