Immigrant- Rev. GUY Smith (b. 1668 Ely, County Cambridgeshire, England; d. 1720 VA.) & Miss___ Perrin....(Some data copied from Rainey Papers, Vol. 63-P14, Roanoke City Libr. Research done by Mae Moore,Genealogist; Compiled by Ms. Hainey)....(Research by: Ms. Iva J. Cook, Rt.# 5, Box 247-1, Rocky Mount, VA. 24151, 1983).

=========================================================================Notes & Sources:

Rev. Guy Smith, abt 1668-1720, Minister of the Church of England.

"The Circle Goes Unbroken." While still a young boy, in 1683 Guy Smith enrolled in a preparatory school atCambridge, which prepared him for late ministerial studies on the university level. Eventually, Guy would enrollin Corpus Christi College. Guy was a sizar, a student who receives an allowance toward his college expenses inreturn for acting as a servant to other students.

Queen Anne had established a fund, the so-called Queen Anne's Bounty.....that authorized gifts to clergies willingto travel to the colonies. This fund may have helped (Guy) to Virginia. By about 1700 Guy Smith, was theRector of the Abingdon Parish in Gloucester County, across the river from Williamsburg, May 31, 1703. Guyjoined James Clack in a petition to the General Assembly, asking for laws preventing from being worked onSundays. A few days later on April 2, 1703, after being elected one of the Govenors of William and MaryCollege, Guy took the oaths of office and subscribed the test necessary the position.

Guy also acquired considerable land by paying passage for immigrants in exchange for their "important" rights to50 acres and by Treasury rights to vacant land by building a wooden house of 12 feet square and the clearing andtending of one acre of land. By 1719 Guy has enough personal wealth to own seven slaves.

A well thought of woman of colonial Virgina was "invisible" which means that there are few recorded womenfrom colonial Virginia. Based on English naming patterns in the Smith and other families, it is possible that thewife of Rev. Guy Smith was named Elizabeth. While this couple did not name any daughter Elizabeth, severalof their children had daughters named Elizabeth. The births of nine children were registered at the AbingdonParish Church.

(The Circle Goes Unbroken: Some of Rev. Guy Smith's Desc's on America's Frontiers which cites The Register ofAbingdon Parish, Gloucester County, Virginia, 1677-1780. Compiled by Robins, Arlington, VA; Hanford House,1981, p. 224) (James McFarlane)

Rev. Guy Smith, an Episcopal priest and rector of Abington Parish in Gloucester Co., Virginia. The burning ofthe Church and county records in Gloucester Co. in 1819 seems to preclude the possibility of a record of thefamily prior to 1700. The Rev. Guy Smith is found in an old Abington Parish register beginning 1677 (?), andwith this record begins the family history of this Virginia family of Smiths.

Why was he sent to Virginia as a minister by the Bishop of London or born in Virginia is not known. Some

2

genealogists seem inclined to the belief that he was related to John or Lawrence Smith, who came to Virginiafrom Devonshire, England about 1650. (A Lawrence Smith, who came to Virginia from Devonshire and settledin Gloucester Co. about 1650. He became a Major in the Militia, and commanded the forces on the frontier. Hedied 1700, leaving sons Lawrence, John, and William and bore the arms of "Smith of Tartne, Devonshire,England".) It is also supposed by some that John and Lawrence were related to Col. A. Smith, who came toVirginia in 1622 and settled in Islo-of-Wight County and his brother, Alexander Smith who came over in 1634and settled in Middlesex County.

Arthur and Alexander were nephews of Sir Thomas Smith, who was Secretary of the Virginia Company ofLondon, and one of the most prominent men in the early settlement of Virginia. He was the son of ThomasSmith of Osten Hanger Castle, County Kent, England. There seems to be no record from which we might learnwho, when, or where the Rev. Guy Smith married, but the date of death of his first child in 1701 would indicatehis own birth date about 1675.

The Virginia Cyclopedia of Biography Gives the following -- "Rev. Guy Smith came to Virginia before and wasminister of Abington Parish in Gloucester County. He was a member of the clergy that associated at the Collegeof William and Mary in Williamsburg in 1719, and died about 1720, leaving at least sons. Guy, John, Constantineand Lawrence." ..

In Bishop Meade's "Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia, Vol. 2 ", his name appears on a list ofministers attending a convention of Virginia ministers held at William and Mary College, April 1. Since BishopMeade's day an old Abingdon Parish Register has been brought to light, from which we learn the following. (SeeWilliam and Mary Quarterly, p. 44, Vol. 9) " Rev. Guy Smith was minister of Abingdon Parish and died about1720. He was succeeded by Rev. Thomas Hughes. As he had a son Lawrence, he was probably some relations toMajor Lawrence Smith. " The old Abingdon Parish register gives the names of his children and the birth dates ofsome. Also, his slaves.

Col. John Smith was a member of the House of Burgesses from Goochland County from 1752 till about 1790.John, Jr. and Guy were County judges. All the sons and grandsons were large land owners and had from fiveslaves, onwards. John, Jr., was an extensive tobacco grower and it is likely that all the other brothers also were.(Donna Smith Carlson & Donald Ray Carlson Family)...BIOGRAPHY: Much of the information came originally from the Smith Family History prepared by Guy AllenSmith of Los Angeles, CA, which was updated by Elmer Smith of Oblong, IL.

They were married in 1838, exact date unknown, either ll or 13 Apr or 2 May.There were six sons in the family, and each son had seven sisters, all born in Franklin Co. Virginia.The family first moved to Indiana, but there seems to be no record of that date(1865?). It is remembered that onedaughter said she walked nearly all the way. Also, no available records show when many members of the familycame to Colorado. That move was made with the hope that the health of their tenth child, NANCY (8J), atubercular, would be improved. She died in 1878, at the age of 25, and is buried in the cemetery at Hygiene, CO....MARK and LUCY made their home in Berthoud. Not much is known about what he did, except that he mademany trips to the mountains with his wagon and team of horses, and spent much time there. He was an avidfisherman. It was on a fishing trip with friends in the Big Thompson Canyon, when the wagon overturned and hewas mortally wounded. He died the next day at the age of 77. He is buried in the Hygiene cemetery. The LUCYcontinued to live in Berthoud, or in the home of W.T.W. (8) and family.

194. William Thomas Wright6 Smith (Mark5, Christina "Tenah"4, Philemon "Philip"3, John2, Guy1) wasborn February 15, 1855 in Franklin County, Virginia. He married Minnie Blanch Smith, daughter of WyattSmith and Callie Boone. She was born August 19, 1870 in Tennessee or Colorado, and died in Denver, DenverCounty, Colorado.

Notes for William Thomas Wright Smith:...WILLIAM THOMAS WRIGHT SMITH;------------------------------------------William and Minnie are 1st cousins. He came to Colorado with his parents when about 20 years old. At one time,he boarded at the Hygiene Sanatorium, a health care center that stressed proper diets and care of the body. Thatestablishment is what gave the town of Hygiene its name.His earliest known diary begins in 1884, but he started farming in the Berthoud area before that time. He acquiredhomestead rights 3 miles east, and 1 1/2 miles north of Berthoud in Weld Co., NE 1/4, Section 8, Township 4,Range 68 West, probably about 1880, from Wm Eidson.A lake was started on the Northwest corner of the farm for irrigation purposes, on February 27, 1881. It is knownas the Smith Reservoir. Using his team of horses, he helped build the Handy and Home Supply dams on the BigThompson River, and the ditches to the farms. The Handy Ditch Company was organized in 1878. The lake wasto be part of the irrigation system on the farm. The Home Supply Company was started in 1881. Most of the payfor the men's labor, and their teams, was in ditch stock.Tom had no formal engineer's training (perhaps little formal schooling of any kind), but with a quaint surveyinginstrument which he had a Mr. Beeson of Longmont constructed from a gun barrel, with fitted lens and adjustingscrews attached, he surveyed irrigation ditches for farmers in a radius of several miles. An entry in his diary onOctober 15, 1891 states that he surveyed, on that day, the ditch to be used to fill the Berthoud town lake. Thisinstrument, with tripod and staff, was used on the homestead until about 1965, when it was donated to theLoveland Pioneer Museum by the Smith Family.In the fall of 1890, he sold the homestead privileges back to Mr. Eidson, and moved into town. On December 2 hetraveled by train to McPherson Kansas, to look at lots he had purchased earlier to help finance a college theChurch of the Brethren (Dunkard) expected to build there. Those lots remained in the possession of the Smithfamily for more than 65 years before they were sold, unimproved. (see end of MINNIE SMITH section for more

28

info on land)Tom went on to Virginia, spending about 2 months in the Roanoke and Boone's Mill areas before his marriage in1891 to MINNIE BLANCH SMITH (9). Common great grandparents bequeathed the same surname to both, andthe children of this union are full-blooded SMITHS. This has caused many a headache for government agencies.When their children would apply for birth certificates (Colorado didn't register births during the years they wereborn), social security numbers and other data, they always received a request for the mother's maiden name.The bride and groom arrived in Berthoud on 21 February 1891. They made their home in town. But in OctoberTom again acquired the homestead from Mr. Eidson, and the couple moved to the farm on 3 November 1891.That was to be home for the remainder of the lives of both of them The patent for the homestead was received on13 February 1893.TOM was a member of the Church of the Brethren, commonly called Dunkard, which had 3 branches. He shouldbe considered one of the middle group, as he was not strictly opposed to war. During his lifetime two sons servedin World War I. He spent almost full time during that war soliciting for war chest funds, or selling Liberty LoanBonds. Post cards and literature concerning the war, to be distributed, were in abundance in the home.It is supposed that he hauled the first load of rock for the Dunkard stone church that still stands east of Hygiene.The roll in the Church lists W T SMITH, MINNIE, Amanda (8G) (Toms sister), and Grandma Smith (LUCYJOHNSON 17) Toms mother, as members. Since MINNIE'S brother Will T. (9C) also lived in the community fora time, the mail for him and TOM (WILLIAM T.) got mixed. It was thought for years, by the family, that that wasthe reason their father added ""WRIGHT" to his name and used the initials of W.T.W., but was always calledTOM. However, he had an entry in his diary on 6 January 1885, stating that he had applied for a cattle brand. Noone in the family remembered ever having seen it.When the Berthoud, Colorado Women's Club wanted to compile written histories of the pioneers in the Berthoudarea as their contribution to the Bicentennial, the Smith Family, in October of 1974, began a search forinformation. It was learned through the Western Division of the Denver Public Library that the brand was WTW.It should be noted that he applied for that brand 6 years before he had a brother-in-law.Jake Zollar, a Berthoud resident since 1902, who is versed in local history, remembers that TOM SMITH,because he had 3 initials, was sometimes referred to as Alphabet Smith.When a son, Herb (Herbert 4F) learned that the brand was kept for only a short time, and had never been taken byanyone else, he applied for it from the Colorado Brand Board. The brand was received on 28 February 1975, 90years after it was originally issued. In 1885 the brand cost $1.00, but in 1975 it cost $25.00.To celebrate the occasion, Herb purchased from Art Dill and Son, of Pierce, Colorado, six cow and calf pairs, andhad the new brand put on them. The cows already had the dill brand of "-AD" on them. Perhaps now they are"Alphabet Cows!"Mr. Eidson tried twice to make a living on the farm, and failed. Many times since, the Smiths have thought theland was best suited for Indians. The farm has had continuous ownership by the family since the patent for thehomestead was received in 1893. All the children were born on the farm. Both parents died there, WTW at age 64and MINNIE at age 82, 71 years to the day after she became partner-owner of her home. Both are buried in theBerthoud cemetery.Obituary: W.T.W. SMITH called by Death. W.T.W. SMITH, one of the community's best known and most highlyrespected citizens, died at his home 4 1/2 miles northeast of Berthoud Sunday morning at 12:30, after an illnessextending over a period of three months. Death was caused by complication of diseases. Though he had been infailing health for some time the seriousness of his condition was not realized by his friends till within a few daysof his death.WILLIAM T W SMITH was a Virginian by birth. He was united in marriage with MINNIE B. SMITH on Feb.10, 1891. The widow and eight children survive. The children are Mrs. Lucy Bridgeman, Tressa, Hugh, Wyatt, JH , Harry, Herman and Herbert.He also leaves three brothers, Nathaniel, Griffin and John, and three sister, Mrs. Lottie Jenkins, Mrs. AmandaEastdale and Mrs Ann Black.Services were held from the United Brethren Church Wednesday at 11 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Bergen, aminister of the Church of the Brethren, a body that Mr. Smith had long been identified with. Burial was inGreenlawn cemetery. (ref:P-10)MINNIE BLANCH SMITH (9) was born in Boone's Mill, VA. She attended school there and on 10 FEB 1891she was married to WILLIAM THOMAS SMITH (8) in Franklin Co. VA., and in the same year the couple cameto Berthoud, Colorado. Before her marriage she belonged to the Baptist church. After moving to Colorado, thepioneers often held services in the nearest school house if a church was not nearby. Probably there was never aDunkard church nearer than Hygiene, and that was too far to travel in one day in a horse and buggy, for services.The Sunnyside School was only a mile and a half from the farm, and the Dunkards' held services there, with themembers conducting them. An entry in TOM SMITH'S diary dated 4 December, 1898, states, "attendedpreaching at Sunnyside, and baptism at the Thompson. MINNIE was baptized". The Little Thompson River is one

29

and a half miles south of where the Sunnyside School stood.After MINNIE was widowed, she kept her membership in the Church of the Brethren for several years. Thenearest church of that faith was in Denver, 50 miles away and much more than an hour's drive. She very seldomattended, but the pastor of the church always made an annual call on the members living distant from the church.One year, the pastor came with a clean-shaven face, and she didn't recognize him. Most of the Dunkard men werebeards, and it seemed that all good preachers must wear them. She was shocked to think that he would follow themodern trend. The church gradually followed other modern trends.She finally decided that if that church were going to be like all other churches, there was no reason for belongingto it, and she joined the First Baptist Church of Loveland and kept her membership in it until she died. (TheBaptist Church in Berthoud had ceased to exist before she made up here mind to join a Baptist church).MINNIE had very little formal schooling, but she learned things that many professors never learn. For instance,where money comes from. After the death of her husband soon after the end of World War I, difficult times besetthe farmers. High war time prices for farm products dropped suddenly. Many farms were mortgaged, andforeclosed. She was a widow with twin boys, aged 9 and a 13 year old daughter, still to be raised. The other fivechildren ranged in age from 18 to 27. By careful planning and frugal living, she kept the farm and home frombeing taken away by wolves in banker's clothing. She often maintained that hard work was her onlyaccomplishment. She took great pride in the fact that none of her children ever went hungry. After her childrenwere all grown, she greatly enjoyed traveling, and visited relatives many times from coast to coast. All herchildren except one survived her.Obituary: Funeral Serviced for Old Settler One of the last of the Sunnyside District Settlers, Mrs. MINNIESMITH, died Sunday at her home northeast of Berthoud, following a long illness.

(ref: P-11)The following 2 pages are a letter written by MINNIE BLANCH SMITH (9) to Janet and Wayne SmithMy husbands name was WILLIAM THOMAS WRIGHT SMITH (8) was called Tom Smith. He signed his nameW T SMITH until my people came to Colorado and it was hard to know which SMITH the mail was for so hesigned his name WTW Smith. He was of a family of 13 children, 6 boys and 7 girls. Three of the boys got baldheaded and three did not but all my boys are going to be baldheaded. All 13 have passed away and Ida SMITH(8L) and myself are the last of the in laws. They moved to Ind. in 1865. The way I met Tom, he came to Virginiain 1888. In Dec 1890 he came back to Virginia we got married 10 Feb 1891. They went to Ind. in a coveredwagon. Two of my sisters in law said they walked most of the way from Virginia to Ind. All the names on therecord was born in Franklin Co., Virginia. So many of the old settlers in the west was born in Franklin Co.,Virginia.The war ended in 65, I was born in 1870. I have read the "ROTHCHILDS ST?...... The Civil War." The mainagitators said it would only be a breakfast to whip the north but it turned out to be a long breakfast. Northern menwould come to the south and try to get the Negroes to rise up against the white people and kill them off. That is

30

what JOHN BROWN was doing when he was hung. Another man was with him but he run over a cliff and gotaway. A sister in law told me slavery started in the north but it was too cold for the Negroes and they were not asuccess so they went south and the southerners prospered with them, and they were envied. After the war ended itwas a hard matter for the people to live until they could raise a crop.In March 1877 us and another family moved from Franklin Co. Virginia, it was 150 miles. We was ten days onthe road. We drove some cattle though one cows feet give out. We had to trade her off for a watch. Some of themen was walking all the time so I decided I wanted walk. I didn't walk but a short distance until I was tired andwas ashamed to ask to get back in the wagon after I was so keen to get out.We stayed in Washington Co. Virginia until the next March when my mother (CALLIE PINKARD BOONE 19)died, 10 March 1878. We took her body back to Franklin Co., we went back on the train. Seven little children wasleft without a mother, the oldest not quite ten years old. A bunch of children left without a mother have a hardtime. The summer we were in Washington Co. there was so many wild strawberries, women picked them and soldthem. I remember my mother bought some. I don't think there is a place in the world they cook as many stringbeans or cook as many whole hams as in Franklin Co. Virginia. They cook string beans every day when they havethem. When I was there in 26 the been bugs had made their appearance that summer. The report had got out theywould leave in three years I told them if the bugs left in three years they would treat them better than they had us.I knew we had had them twenty years. I was back there in 39, they still had bean bugs. One often hear of Virginiabaked ham. I never saw a baked ham in Virginia they were all boiled, the skin peeled off then spotted with blackpepper. I have an aunt, says one can ruin a ham by cooking it too much, it gets crumbly.If I had known I would write all this I would have hunted up some larger paper. I don't know what to send you forChristmas so will enclose a dollar for you and Wayne to buy you a Christmas treat and a quarter to put in thebaby's bank. Will close wishing you both a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.Your grandmother write MINNIE B SMITH hope I will get to see you next summer. If there is anything else youwould like to know, let me know, I will do the best I can.My mother had eight brothers and three sister. She married on her brother Ed's birthday and died on her brotherErnest's birthday. ..end of letter:The McPherson County News, Thursday, April 2, 1959 IN THE PROBATE COURT OF McPHERSONCOUNTY, KANSAS In the Matter of the Estates of W.T.W.

Notes for William Thomas Wright Smith:...WILLIAM THOMAS WRIGHT SMITH;------------------------------------------William and Minnie are 1st cousins. He came to Colorado with his parents when about 20 years old. At one time,he boarded at the Hygiene Sanatorium, a health care center that stressed proper diets and care of the body. That

33

establishment is what gave the town of Hygiene its name.His earliest known diary begins in 1884, but he started farming in the Berthoud area before that time. He acquiredhomestead rights 3 miles east, and 1 1/2 miles north of Berthoud in Weld Co., NE 1/4, Section 8, Township 4,Range 68 West, probably about 1880, from Wm Eidson.A lake was started on the Northwest corner of the farm for irrigation purposes, on February 27, 1881. It is knownas the Smith Reservoir. Using his team of horses, he helped build the Handy and Home Supply dams on the BigThompson River, and the ditches to the farms. The Handy Ditch Company was organized in 1878. The lake wasto be part of the irrigation system on the farm. The Home Supply Company was started in 1881. Most of the payfor the men's labor, and their teams, was in ditch stock.Tom had no formal engineer's training (perhaps little formal schooling of any kind), but with a quaint surveyinginstrument which he had a Mr. Beeson of Longmont constructed from a gun barrel, with fitted lens and adjustingscrews attached, he surveyed irrigation ditches for farmers in a radius of several miles. An entry in his diary onOctober 15, 1891 states that he surveyed, on that day, the ditch to be used to fill the Berthoud town lake. Thisinstrument, with tripod and staff, was used on the homestead until about 1965, when it was donated to theLoveland Pioneer Museum by the Smith Family.In the fall of 1890, he sold the homestead privileges back to Mr. Eidson, and moved into town. On December 2 hetraveled by train to McPherson Kansas, to look at lots he had purchased earlier to help finance a college theChurch of the Brethren (Dunkard) expected to build there. Those lots remained in the possession of the Smithfamily for more than 65 years before they were sold, unimproved. (see end of MINNIE SMITH section for moreinfo on land)Tom went on to Virginia, spending about 2 months in the Roanoke and Boone's Mill areas before his marriage in1891 to MINNIE BLANCH SMITH (9). Common great grandparents bequeathed the same surname to both, andthe children of this union are full-blooded SMITHS. This has caused many a headache for government agencies.When their children would apply for birth certificates (Colorado didn't register births during the years they wereborn), social security numbers and other data, they always received a request for the mother's maiden name.The bride and groom arrived in Berthoud on 21 February 1891. They made their home in town. But in OctoberTom again acquired the homestead from Mr. Eidson, and the couple moved to the farm on 3 November 1891.That was to be home for the remainder of the lives of both of them The patent for the homestead was received on13 February 1893.TOM was a member of the Church of the Brethren, commonly called Dunkard, which had 3 branches. He shouldbe considered one of the middle group, as he was not strictly opposed to war. During his lifetime two sons servedin World War I. He spent almost full time during that war soliciting for war chest funds, or selling Liberty LoanBonds. Post cards and literature concerning the war, to be distributed, were in abundance in the home.It is supposed that he hauled the first load of rock for the Dunkard stone church that still stands east of Hygiene.The roll in the Church lists W T SMITH, MINNIE, Amanda (8G) (Toms sister), and Grandma Smith (LUCYJOHNSON 17) Toms mother, as members. Since MINNIE'S brother Will T. (9C) also lived in the community fora time, the mail for him and TOM (WILLIAM T.) got mixed. It was thought for years, by the family, that that wasthe reason their father added ""WRIGHT" to his name and used the initials of W.T.W., but was always calledTOM. However, he had an entry in his diary on 6 January 1885, stating that he had applied for a cattle brand. Noone in the family remembered ever having seen it.When the Berthoud, Colorado Women's Club wanted to compile written histories of the pioneers in the Berthoudarea as their contribution to the Bicentennial, the Smith Family, in October of 1974, began a search forinformation. It was learned through the Western Division of the Denver Public Library that the brand was WTW.It should be noted that he applied for that brand 6 years before he had a brother-in-law.Jake Zollar, a Berthoud resident since 1902, who is versed in local history, remembers that TOM SMITH,because he had 3 initials, was sometimes referred to as Alphabet Smith.When a son, Herb (Herbert 4F) learned that the brand was kept for only a short time, and had never been taken byanyone else, he applied for it from the Colorado Brand Board. The brand was received on 28 February 1975, 90years after it was originally issued. In 1885 the brand cost $1.00, but in 1975 it cost $25.00.To celebrate the occasion, Herb purchased from Art Dill and Son, of Pierce, Colorado, six cow and calf pairs, andhad the new brand put on them. The cows already had the dill brand of "-AD" on them. Perhaps now they are"Alphabet Cows!"Mr. Eidson tried twice to make a living on the farm, and failed. Many times since, the Smiths have thought theland was best suited for Indians. The farm has had continuous ownership by the family since the patent for thehomestead was received in 1893. All the children were born on the farm. Both parents died there, WTW at age 64and MINNIE at age 82, 71 years to the day after she became partner-owner of her home. Both are buried in theBerthoud cemetery.Obituary: W.T.W. SMITH called by Death. W.T.W. SMITH, one of the community's best known and most highlyrespected citizens, died at his home 4 1/2 miles northeast of Berthoud Sunday morning at 12:30, after an illness

In Dec 1890 he came back to Virginia we got married 10 Feb 1891. They went to Ind. in a coveredwagon. Two of my sisters in law said they walked most of the way from Virginia to Ind. All the names on therecord was born in Franklin Co., Virginia. So many of the old settlers in the west was born in Franklin Co.,Virginia.The war ended in 65, I was born in 1870. I have read the "ROTHCHILDS ST?...... The Civil War." The mainagitators said it would only be a breakfast to whip the north but it turned out to be a long breakfast. Northern menwould come to the south and try to get the Negroes to rise up against the white people and kill them off. That iswhat JOHN BROWN was doing when he was hung. Another man was with him but he run over a cliff and gotaway. A sister in law told me slavery started in the north but it was too cold for the Negroes and they were not asuccess so they went south and the southerners prospered with them, and they were envied. After the war ended itwas a hard matter for the people to live until they could raise a crop.In March 1877 us and another family moved from Franklin Co. Virginia, it was 150 miles. We was ten days onthe road. We drove some cattle though one cows feet give out. We had to trade her off for a watch. Some of themen was walking all the time so I decided I wanted walk. I didn't walk but a short distance until I was tired andwas ashamed to ask to get back in the wagon after I was so keen to get out.We stayed in Washington Co. Virginia until the next March when my mother (CALLIE PINKARD BOONE 19)died, 10 March 1878. We took her body back to Franklin Co., we went back on the train. Seven little children wasleft without a mother, the oldest not quite ten years old. A bunch of children left without a mother have a hardtime. The summer we were in Washington Co. there was so many wild strawberries, women picked them and soldthem. I remember my mother bought some. I don't think there is a place in the world they cook as many stringbeans or cook as many whole hams as in Franklin Co. Virginia. They cook string beans every day when they havethem. When I was there in 26 the been bugs had made their appearance that summer. The report had got out theywould leave in three years I told them if the bugs left in three years they would treat them better than they had us.I knew we had had them twenty years. I was back there in 39, they still had bean bugs. One often hear of Virginiabaked ham. I never saw a baked ham in Virginia they were all boiled, the skin peeled off then spotted with blackpepper. I have an aunt, says one can ruin a ham by cooking it too much, it gets crumbly.If I had known I would write all this I would have hunted up some larger paper. I don't know what to send you forChristmas so will enclose a dollar for you and Wayne to buy you a Christmas treat and a quarter to put in thebaby's bank. Will close wishing you both a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.Your grandmother write MINNIE B SMITH hope I will get to see you next summer. If there is anything else youwould like to know, let me know, I will do the best I can.My mother had eight brothers and three sister. She married on her brother Ed's birthday and died on her brotherErnest's birthday. ..end of letter:The McPherson County News, Thursday, April 2, 1959 IN THE PROBATE COURT OF McPHERSONCOUNTY, KANSAS In the Matter of the Estates of W.T.W.

He was born April 23,1873 in Pennsyvlania County, Virginia, and died August 14, 1949 in Costa Mesa, Orange County, California.

Notes for Callie Boone Smith:...CALLIE BOONE SMITH;-------------------------------------Callie was convinced that her mother (CALLIE PINKARD BOONE 19) was a descendant of the famed DanielBoone. Tressa Smith Snyder (4E) has 5 Boone Bulletins (1929 through 1934) published by the Boone FamilyAssociation. (1934 may have been the last year of publication, and the whole Association ceased to be a few yearslater). They contain historical and genealogical records of the families of Daniel Boone and CALLIE PINKARDBOONE SMITH, and Tressa can make no connections between the two families. Daniel Boone was born inPennsylvania in 1735 and it is known that he and Abraham Lincoln were distantly related. Callie's first knownBOONE ancestor arrived at Philadelphia in September 1741, on a ship from Germany. Actually, his name aswritten on his oath of allegiance at that time was JOHAN DIEHL BOHUN, which in German is pronouncedBOON. Immigration and other officials spelled the name as it sounded to them. An "e" was added many yearslater.This excerpt from the Boone Bulletin of June 1929 may be of historical interest. "The Boone Family Associationis a fraternity based on hereditary continuation of the old House of BOHUN. This noble Norman family of pureCaucasian blood, began more than a thousand years ago to spread in many nations. Always standing for the goodof mankind, the family rose to the highest honor in England when the Boone Blood through its female linereached the person of Henry Pantagenet (son of MARY BOHUN) who ruled as King Henry V. MARY BOHUN,a cousin of her husband, King Henry IV was the great grand daughter of Princess Elizabeth, youngest daughter ofKing Edward I."

JOSEPH HOYT SMITH b. 1 Jan 1897, Berthoud, CO, ref: 4, occupation Machinery salesman, m. 7 Nov1917, in Lafayette, CO, LEORA MAUDE JOHNSON, b. 15 Sep 1900, Windsor, CO, (daughter of ELMERWILSON JOHNSON and IDA MAY LOWER) ref: 5, occupation House wife, d. 25 Sep 1974, Thornton, CO,buried: Berthoud, CO. JOSEPH died 17 Apr 1971, Thornton, CO, buried: Berthoud, CO. He was the second sonin the family to be born on New Year's Day. He became a salesman at a very early age. On 7 Nov 1917, hemarried LEORA MAUDE JOHNSON (5) at Lafayette, CO.With the exception of a year or two in Casper, Wyoming, JOE and LEORA lived in Berthoud, Loveland orDenver. In all the years JOE lived in Denver, he seemed to remain very much a part of the Berthoud community.For a few years after Wyatt left the home place, JOE farmed it. For a couple years he was a road supervisor in theBerthoud District for the County of Larimer. Earlier than that, for several summers he ran a threshing outfit. For 2or 3 of them his mother MINNIE and sister Tressa, did the cooking in a cook-car for the crew. As motortransportation became more plentiful, and faster, the cook-car was abandoned, and a crew assembled everymorning from their homes. Perhaps they were given the noon meal at the home wherever they were threshing.He became very interested in selling large machinery, especially the earth moving type and eventually formed thefirm of Joe Smith Machinery in Denver. The buying and selling of surplus machinery from World War II, forawhile, was a large part of the business. JOE joined the Christian Church in Berthoud while he was in his teens.He with LEORA, remained in that faith all his life. It is now probably the Disciples of Christ Church. In Denverhe worked tirelessly for the church and gave much time and money. ref. M-4BERTHOUD FARMER IS SCRAP DRIVE ACE Berthoud, Colo., Oct. 17-This farm community Saturdayoffered its candidate for the individual scrap metal collecting championship of Colorado.He is Joe Smith, Berthoud farmer, who not only donated 8,080 pounds of heavy iron and steel scrap to theBerthoud salvage depot, but hauled a truckload of cast iron to Denver for the scrap pile there. Receiving a checkfor $53.86 for the load, he gave it to the Berthoud salvage fund.JOE SMITH DONATES 8,080 POUNDS HEAVY STEEL The Berthoud area unit of the Larimer CountyCivilian War council, an organization perfected to handle all war-time activities in Larimer county, claims thestate record for the largest amount of scrap iron donated by one farmer.In a letter to D. L. McMillen, executive field director of the county salvage committee, L. O. McClung, ruralchairman for the Berthoud area, stated: "I believe that we have an individual who has donated more to the scrapdrive than anyone in the county and perhaps in the state. Joe Smith, a farmer in our community, donated 8,080pounds of heavy iron and steel to Berthoud's salvage depot. He also hauled a load of cast iron to Denver and thendonated the check to the amount of $53.96 to the Berthoud area fund. This makes a total of approximately $100worth of scrap iron that Mr. Smith has donated to the area fund, which will be used for U.S.O., Red Cross andother war-time activities. "The Berthoud area which consists of only two townships recently collected 100 tons ofscrap iron which is now being cut and delivered to the consuming centers. "Joe Smith may be just an ordinaryname in the telephone directory, but Joe Smith in the Berthoud area and to the boys on the fighting front, is anindividual who is giving out his best to help win the war. Can any other area in Larimer county produce anindividual who can beat Joe Smith's record?"Letter from Joe to his mother dated Jany 18-1927 Minnie B SmithMy Dear Mother, It is a bit late to write letters (11:30) but better late than never. Suppose you got the letter Leorawrote you a week ago. The whole bunch of relation is in good health as far as I know. Herbert is at the StockShow this week with Wyatt's cattle. He is staying at Hughs. Of course everyone has wrote you that Wyatt tookunto himself a wife. Looks like you will have to stay in Virginia or live in my cook shack.Herbert stayed with us three weeks, Herman two, they helped me some on a tractor and painted my freight house.I am shipping about 50 ton of hay per day now. I do not know how long it will last, maybe 30 to 60 days.Clarence Lucas is running one baler for me, Davises' one and a fellow down towards Longmont one.

They all own their balers. Leora has the shingles on her shoulder. They have been paining her awfully bad but arebetter tonight.You seem to be having a good time back there, and now that you are there, I would stay till I got my visit out.Herbert and Herman will board off of some of us and get along ok.Hoping you are well and still enjoying yourself, I am.
