[1] Deborah Laurens, was a native of New Town, Long Island. She was
a daughter of Major Thomas Laurens (Lawrence).
[2] The records of the Dutch Church, or at least a published transcript of those records, show the marriage of Michael Smit, y.m., born Hackensack, and Malli Smit, y.d., born Long Island, living at Zykakis (Secaucus), married 12 November 1741. 26 September 1741 may have been the date of "intention to marry" and was published or a license applied for. Various writers ascribe Maria Smith as a possible descendant of Abel Smith of Secaucus but have presented no proof of that assertion.
