Richard Smythe, Susanna Smythe's father, settled on the Eastern Shore.   In November 1618, he patented 950 acres.  In the census of 1625, that were only fifty-one Europeans listed in the eastern Shore at the lower tip.  Richard Smythe's patent was a day's sail north of this settlment.   He was listed as a Jamestown resident in 1624 prior to becoming an Eastern Shore resident.  He was an attorney in Jamestown and believed to have some link to Sir Thomas Smythe of the Virginia Company.  Besides wife, Alyce and his daughters Susanna Smythe and Alice Smythe, there was a son Richard. He died in 1659 leaving 450 acres of land then called Captain Thomas Neck in Accomack County, Virginia to his daughter, Susanna.
