Was he in fact Clodius Smith, the escaped servant of Abraham Porter of Portersfield, Gloucester County, New Jersey and had changed his name to David?
How come there are no records of the births of any of his children, or even their marriages?
Question, or answer? Likely the father of Claudius from my own research and changed his name to something less obvious, like David Smith. Can't be proven though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.246.71.91 ( talk) 02:54, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
What indicates that David of Brookhaven ever lived in Hempsted. As the article's own references show there was a tailor David Smith in Hempstead in 1728. Is there any evidence David of Brookhaven or David of Orange County was a tailor or a judge?
There are land documents (both in Sussex and Orange County) and town meeting notes of Brookhaven that suggest David was there until about 1847. After that time he sold his Brookhaven property and bought land in Smiths Clove (Monroe) in Orange County where he was active in town events. His son Samuel lived in Monroe his entire adult life. The Hempsted Samuel is not Samuel Son of the Brookhaven and Smith's Clove David.
As for the David Smith-Meriam (Williams) Carle marriage, there were a lot of Smith's, including some other Davids, in Hempstead.
According to "A Carl Family History: The Story of an Old Long Island Family" by Skip Carl (1974)
John Carle, the son of Jacob Carle and Miriam (Williams) Carle, did not leave Long Island until 1773. He was born c. 1725-1731, and one would have expected him to have accompanied his mother and stepfather to Orange Co. c. 1747 if they really were the David Smith & wife who settled there.
It is unlikely that this David of Hempstead is the same as the David of Brookhaven and Orange County who is the father of Claudius Smith.
It needs a great deal of work. It looks like it is copied from a history book and contains all sorts of irrelevant information.-- Blue Tie 22:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
I've taken the liberty of removing several paragraphs of rather speculative material on Joshua Hett Smith, Gen. Arnold, and Maj. André. While some of this may be suitable for articles on those three individuals, its connection to Claudius Smith is slender to non-existent ("...it is entirely possible that...") and I feel that it distracts from the proper subject of this article.

was the captain a member of Smith's gang, or did they just happen to be in the same jail. 98.206.155.53 ( talk) 03:53, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
