We know that 'Jone' or Joan was the wife of Richard SMITH and mother of Phoebe SMITH.
Joan Deely is the only record of a Joan/Jone marrying a Ricard SMITH in England around the right time. The arrival of Phoebe only 3 months after the wedding, however, casts significant doubt on whether Joan DEELY was the mother of Phoebe SMITH.
Richard and Joan went on to have a further three children.
A Joan DELEY was baptized on 24 Apr 1728 in Bromsgrove by William and Judeth DELEY, making her 20 years old when she married Richard SMITH.
