Biography

John Smith, husband of Deborah Parkhurst, participated in the early Nantucket settlement undertaking as an associate of Thomas Mayhew. Published research also places him in Edgartown’s civic and military organization. His identity must be kept separate from John Bland alias Smith, with whom earlier accounts confused him.
