General Notes: Husband - Robert Smith


About the year 1785 he came from east of the mountains and located in Bethel township, near Bethel church, in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and followed agricultural pursuits. His original farm was later owned by his grandson, John Smith.

He came from Maryland in 1782, and located on a farm in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. [CBRWC, 1395]

He died aged eighty-three years.


General Notes: Wife - Jean Moore


She was of Scotch ancestry. Her parents emigrated to America from Belfast, Ireland, in 1738, to Peach Bottom, York County, Pennsylvania. With them they brought their religion, being stanch Presbyterians of the old faith. They bought a tract of land adjoining that of Robert Smith, her father-in-law, in 1774 and by her marriage these two tracts of land came under the name of Smith-some 300 acres, well timbered and underlaid with the Pittsburg vein of coal.

She lived to be ninety-one years of age and often gathered her grandchildren around her and told how she hid in the woods and cornfields to escape the Indians. She was also acquainted with Gen. Israel Putman.
