Surnames: smith, tucker Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VJIBAEB/28072 Message Board Post: I am seeking information on the likely American origins of the Digby, Nova Scotia Smiths. William Smith (b abt 1776) who married Hannah Tucker (b abt 1776) appears to be the earliest known ancestor of this family, but presumably his family (as in his parents) came to Digby or thereabouts in the 1780s from New England or the Mid-Atlantic (the Tuckers had come from Massachusetts). One of William and Hannah's children was Nany Smith (b abt 1822) who married Joseph Titus.
