Canada Waite and Joseph Smith had a daughter Sarah (b14 Oct 1707, d 17 Aug 1795), who married Elisha Smith (b 10jul 1705 d Nov 1784). They in turn had a son Paul (b 21 June 1734 d 31 Aug 1798) who married Elizabeth Smith (b 1740 d 3July 1814).
Their son Capt. Rufus Smith (b 1764 d 17 Oct 1837) married Anna Munson (d 7 Aug 1816).They had a son Henry (b26 Mar 1798 d 13 Sept 1846) who married Almira Holms.Their son Sumner Smith (b 20Mar 1825 d 10 Mar 1889) married Harriet Bogart.
All of the above is from the History of Hadley.
Known to me through letters and oral family history is that Sumner and Harriet Smith had a daughter, Sarah, who married a Charles Wing of Worcester, Mass.Their daughter, Ada Wing, married Harry Merrick.Ada and Harry traveled with a vaudeville group, billing themselves as "Holly & Lee".They had one son - Hallet Thorpe Merrick - who married June Hall of Franklin, Mass.Their son, Hallet Thorpe Merrick Jr., is my husband.
Sorry I don't have any of the dates in front of me.
