Guy Smith came to Virginia before 1700 and was minister of Abingdon Church in Gloucester County, Virginia. He was a member of the clergy who assembled at William & Mary College in 1719.

Guy married Elizabeth Perrin (1685-1720) in 1699 at Abingdon, Gloucester, Virginia, United States. Elizabeth was the daughter of Richard Perrin (1665 - abt 1695) and Anne Porter (1667-1711). There is a passenger list for Guy Smith coming to Virginia from England 3 years after his marriage. It could be possible that he had to go to England to be educated and licensed as a minister for the Church of England in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England. His parents were born in England but came to Virginia, and all of Guy's brothers and sisters were born in Virginia, and both of his parents died in Gloucester, Virginia.
