Samuel Packard Family
Second Generation
2 Mary2 Packard (Samuel1) born about 1637 probably England [WeyVR 1:208; PackFam 11]; died between 26-Oct-1684 and 1691 Weymouth [Edson 1:45].
She married about 1656 probably Weymouth [WeyVR 1:208] Richard Phillips; born before 1641 [WeyHis 4:465], died between 27-Oct-1695 (will) and 22-Nov-1695 (inventory) Weymouth [SufProb 13:705-706]; son of Nicholas and Elizabeth (Jenson/Jewson?) Phillips and called "eldest son" in his father's 1671 will [SufProb 7:248]. Richard married 2nd about 1691 Elizabeth (Edson) Kingman, daughter of Samuel and Susanna (Orcutt) Edson and widow of John Kingman [WeyHis 4:465].
Mary must have been the child who came on the Diligent, based on the date of birth of her first child.

She married 14-Nov-1665 Taunton Thomas Alger [TauVR 2:356, 549].
Mitchell says that Thomas was from Taunton, perhaps the part that is now Easton, that they settled in West Bridgewater and perhaps had other children.

7 Jael2 Packard (Samuel1) born about 1647 probably Hingham [PackFam 11].
Jael bore a son by Thomas Jones [PCR 5:112, 118; BriProb 1:47; BriProbAbs 1:4]. Although many researchers assumed that she married first a man named Jones, based upon the will of John Smith, that assumption is disproved by the Court record and by the record of her marriage to John Smith, which reads "John Smith, Senir, married to Jaell Packer, of Bridgwater, the 15th of Nouember, 1672." [PCR 8:59; MD 20:53; TauVR 2:356, 440]. Jael was fined £10 for fornication in the court cases that she brought against Thomas Jones and Nicholas White for having commited "uncleaness" with her [PCR 5:111-112, 118, 128].
She married 15-Nov-1672 Taunton [PCR 8:59; MD 20:53; TauVR 2:356, 440] John Smith; died between 03-Jun-1690 (will) and 15-Jan-1691/92 (proved) probably Taunton [BriProb 1:47; BriProbAbs 1:4]; possibly the son of Henry and Judith Smith who came on the Diligent with Samuel1 and Elizabeth Packard in 1638. John married first Lydia Eliot, daughter of Philip and Lydia (Sybthorpe) Eliot, who died 21-Jun-1672 Taunton [MD 20:52; PCR 8:59; TauVR 3:185], and by whom he had four children.
The will of John Smith of Taunton, dated 03-Jun-1690, proved 12-Jan-1691/92, does not name his wife. It names his wife's son Nicholas Jones, sons John (under 21) and Seth, and mentions four unnamed daughters. Thomas Leonard of Taunton and brother Samuel Smith of Medfield were executors, and Samuel Smith, Jr. and Samuel Barbour were witnesses. [BriProb 1:47; BriProbAbs 1:4]
