General Notes: Husband - William Smith
He was born in Bethel township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and received his education in the common schools, the principal books in use at the time being the United States Speller and Western Calculator. He resided in Bethel township until 1846, when he moved to Baldwin township, same county, and there resided until 1872, when he moved to Bulger, Washington County, and retired from active business. When he and his wife went into house-keeping he had but $2.50 to provide for himself and wife. He was a regular attendant at the Pittsburgh markets, and one article in demand at that time was cut straw, which he carried to market on horseback (tied on with ropes), and sold at 12½ cents a sack; he sold butter at 6 cents per pound; packed oats to Pittsburgh on horse-back, and sold them at 12½ cents per bushel. With these prices obtained, he bought and paid for land.
He and his wife had eleven children, seven of whom were deceased in youth.
