[3599] Jonathan inherited the homestead of his father and his grandfather in Nissequogue, Smithtown, Suffolk County, Long Island, NY,
and it remained in the possession of his Floyd descendants until recent years.

The will of Jonathan Smith of Smithtown is dated 10 October 1743, proved 29 November 1744; it is in his own handwriting. He mentions
his recently deceased son Platt Smith, and leaves all property to his two daughters: Tabitha, wife of Nicoll Floyd; and Ruth, wife of
Henry Smith. Much of his real estate had previously been deeded to his son Platt Smith.
