| 21. | Smith, Norman (9.Noadiah3, 3.Mercy2, 1.Mercy1) was christened on 5 Jul 1807 in 1st Cong'l Church,West Springfield,Hampden,MA; died on 29 Dec 1823 in West Springfield,Hampden,MA; was buried in Meeting House Hill Cem.,West Springfield,Hampden,MA. Notes:
CHR: VITAL RECORDS OF WEST SPRINGFIELD, 2 vols. (Boston, 1944-45), 1:202 (FHL #974.426/W1 V2n). For discussion of Norman's birth year and order of birth in family, see burial, below.
DEATH: Ibid, 2:286. This is a copy of the cem inscription.
BUR: Mrs. Seth Ames Lewis, comp, "Cemetery Inscriptions West Springfield" (typescript, n.d.), 108 (FHL #974.426/W1 V22l). This inscription indicates Norman was aged 22 yrs at death, which gives him an approximate birth year of 1801. However, there is insufficient time for another child to have been born between siblings Justus and Mercy. The will and division of estate of Jonathan Smith, Noadiah Smith's brother, lists Norman as the last child of Noadiah Smith, deceased, in a list that shows all of the other children in exact birth order. (See the will of Jonathan Smith of West Springfield, 3 Feb 1820, proved 13 Apr 1820, inv 9 May 1820, division 29 June 1820, Hampden Co. Probate Files, #10355 [FHL #1547728]). Hence, it is believed that the age on Norman's gravestone inscription is incorrect, or it was incorrectly copied.
