General Notes: Husband - Jacob Henry Smith

---

He was educated in the public school and he grew to manhood in Jefferson and Armstrong counties, Pennsylvania. After his marriage he settled at once in West Monterey. He was an old time river pilot and during the months of open navigation piloted the Allegheny river craft, laden with oil, coal and lumber to ports below on the Allegheny and Ohio rivers. He owned a small farm of twenty acres which he also cultivated and there made his permanent home. This tract was later partly the site of the village of West Monterey and was long owned by his heirs. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, as was his wife. In politics he was first a Democrat, and later a Republican. His fraternal order was the Senior Order of American Mechanics. Several years prior to his death he joined the Methodist Church, and he served on its official board.

Various sources agree he had eleven children, but give differing lists of names.
