Elizabeth, I found these vitals in Arnold's Vital Records.The events all occurred in Providence Co., RI:
marriage of Betsey Dexter, youngest daughter of Captain Christopher and Orrin Smith of Jeremiah, all of and at Smithfield 7 February 1821
birth of Orrin Smith at Smithfield 8 November 1822
marriage of Orrin Smith and Sally H. Williams 19 May 1844 at Smithfield
While nothing here connects these people to your Joseph Orville Dexter Smith b 1843 in Limerock, the similarity of the alignment of the names with the ones you are looking for struck me.I wonder if it possible that the younger Orrin had a 1st wife who died during or soon after the birth of your Joseph?
