Hi Floyd,       Husbands Bosworth has a web page at http://www.husbandsbosworth.info/ Finding information on this page is problematic but I think I saw something on a Smith family who controlled the Manor there at one point, before your Richard Smith.      I'm interested in the Stokes/de Stoke family of Husbands Boswortth although I can't link to them.  My George Stokes was born about 1530 and lived about 32 miles from Husbands Bosworth.  Its difficult to find information at this early date, there aren't many records.                                                                                                            Jim ----- Original Message ---- From: Floyd Smith <psamika@sbcglobal.net> To: LEICESTERSHIRE-PLUS@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 12:20:44 PM Subject: [LEI] Richard Smith of Husbands Bosworth My ancestor Richard Smith Married Rebecca Buswell 13 Feb. 1615/16 at  Husbands Bosworth, They had 10 children born there between about 1617  and 1637, most of whom were found in baptismal records. Richard was  born about 1583, but his birth/baptism records have not been found.  He may have been born somewhere in the surrounding area. He and his  family were in Wethersfield, Connecticut by 1648. Any information about Richard Smith's parentage is requested.
