General Notes: Husband - Peter Smith


He was born in Pennsylvania (east of the mountains), and in 1785 removed with his father's family to West Bethlehem township, Washington County. He remained with his parents (who afterward moved to Greene County) until he was twenty-nine years old, but had no educational privileges. He was a hard-working and successful man, owning at one time 300 acres of land. He was a Whig, and took an active interest in the political affairs of the township and county. He and his father were for many years members of the Baptist Church.
