Francis Small was born in 1627, as a deposition shows. Some have supposed him to have been son of the above Edward Small, and the supposition is a natural one but has not been proved. In 1648 he lived in Dover, N. H. Had wife Elizabeth, born 1634. Her maiden name may have been Leighton. In 1668 he bought a large tract of land, known as Ossipee, of an Indian chief and had dwelling house and trading post there, supposed to have been located in what is now Cornish, Me. He was at Kittery in 1668. About 1700 he left Kittery and went to live with his son Daniel at Truro, Mass., where he died about 1714 or 1715.
