The only information given about him in his biography was he was born in 1579 or 80 and was a merchant's apprentice. He then decided to serve with the English Army abroad as a soldier for hire. He was captured by the Turks in Hungary and enslaved and was sold to a woman in Instanbul who decided to send him to her brother where he was forced to do farm work. Smith killed him and escaped to England in early 1600s.
