I believe there are several GOLDSMITH researchers on this list, as Goldsmith
was an early Suffok Co. family.

Another researcher thinks that a Thomas Goldsmith of Salem, Massachusetts was
originally from Southampton and later returned there after 1644, with an
apprentice, George HARRIS, age 8. Does anyone have any information on Thomas?

Here’s the reference:
The Annals of Salem (Massachusetts) by Joseph B. Felt, cites in 1644, “
Thomas GOLDSMITH is to take a son of George HARRIS, about eight years old as an
apprentice for 12 years, to teach him his trade, find him meate, drinke and
aparill, and allow him L3 at the end of the tearme.”
By 1670, a George Harris is married in Southampton and in 1698, a George
Harris marries Sarah in Southampton.

I’m trying to find a connection to George HARRIS of North Sea, who is
mentioned in the George Howell book Early History of Southampton, LI. I’m looking for
a link to my ancestor, John HARRIS of Montgomery, Orange Co. New York,born
1748, d. 8 Mar 1825. Thanks for any help.
