About Mary Smith
In a series of articles in the Virginia Genealogist, Rudolf Loeser identifies Lawrence Smith's wife in Virginia and mother of his children as almost certainly Mary Debnam. she was the daughter of William and Katherine Debnam. Katherine remarried Reverend Charles Grymes. See his two articles in The Virginia Genealogist: Katherine (---) (Debnam) Grymes and Some Relatives, Vol. 41, No. 3 (July-Sept. 1997) pp. 163-171, and Margaret (Debnam) Perrott and Some Relatives, vol. 42, No. 1, pp. 3-17
From the article entitled Thomas Smith of Fairfax County, Virginia, in The Virginia Genealogist, Volume 40, Number 1, (Jan-Mar, 1996), by Henry G. Taliaferro
Several sources, including Gary Boyd Roberts, The Royal Descent of 500 Immigrants to the American Colonies or the United States (Baltimore, 1983), give the name of Lawrence Smith's wife as Mary Hitchin. I am satisfied that she was Mary Debnam; see Mary Burton Derrickson McCurdy, "The Towneleys and Warners of Virginia and their English Connections," The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, v. 81, p. 361, note 151, and J. B. C. Nicklin, ibid., v. 56, pp. 208-210. Nicklin erred, however, in assuming that Mary Debnam and her sisters were the daughters of "Henry Deadman" of Rappahannock River, Virginia. They were the issue of William and Catherine Debnam of York and Gloucester counties. After the death of William Debnam in 1657, his widow married the Rev. Charles Grymes of Gloucester County (ibid., v.81, p. 360).
