  	Abraham Smith, Sr. was dead before 1712 and left a family. Humphrey Underhill appeared at Court and complained that "ye estate of Abraham Smith of White Plains, since Anna Bassett late widow and relict of ye same Abraham Smith who married Arnold Bassett is dead, goes much to decay and said Arnold is endeavoring to destroy ye estate of said Abraham Smith, wherein ye orphans will be very much wronged. ... the Court ordered that ye said Humphrey Underhill, Caleb Hiat and Samuel Purdy make inventory of ye estate for the benefit of ye orphans." Caleb Hiat was named trustee.
  Notes	Abraham Smith "of Rye" was among the first settlers of White Plains. He purchased of Samuel Odell, in 1700, a piece of land on the west side of White Plains Street (now Broadway), which Samuel Odell had inherited from his father William Odell; and in 1705, Abraham Smith purchased land next to it from George Kniffen of Rye, "as it was laid out for him, the said Abraham Smith." The latter piece was bounded on the south by Daniel Lane's land, and the deed was witnessed by Humphrey Underhill. (Rye Land Records, Liber B page 122 & 123). The names of Abraham Smith and Humphrey Underhill appear together in the land records of Jamaica, Long Island.
