General Notes: Husband - Robert Smithers

---

The Smathers or Smithers family (the latter orthography formerly prevailing) has been in Pennsylvania since 1740, in which year two brothers, Jacob and Robert Smithers, emigrated from England, Robert locating in Delaware, while Jacob selected Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

He and his brother, Jacob Smithers, came to America from Lancashire, England, about 1767. Both were then unmarried, aged twenty-one and eighteen years respectively. Robert settled in Delaware and Jacob settled in Luzerne and Columbia counties, Pennsylvania, on the north branch of the Susquehanna river. [HJC 1917 ii, 50]
