As a tribute to her deceased husband, Marshall Ashby Smith Jr., Rosalie
Coudray Smith made two trips to England to research the ancestors of
her husband. The results of her research are published in the
SMITH GENTES and the Smiths of England are recounted here. I cannot
verify that
the early generations of Smith in England are correct and it would be
interesting if more information were to be found. SMITH GENTES: Vol 2; Rosalie Coudray Smith;
1990;

no evidence that they were members of the Quaker group. Andrew
Smith was a surveyor as well as a farmer. His unrecorded will is
dated 16 January 1703/4 and proved 7 March 1703/4. The children
of Andrew Smith and Olive Pitt are recorded in his bible which is
located in the Presbyterian Historical Society in Philadelphia.
2001 - Bible in possession of owner, Sally Bailey.
From Pioneers of Old Hopewell; Ralph Ege; 1908;
"To Andrew Smith may be given the honor of naming Hopewell township,
and a short sketch of his history may not be out of place just here as
he was the progenitor of a distinguished family in the early history of
the township. In the deed of Cornelius Empson of Brandywine
Creek, now Wilmington, Delaware, to Andrew Smith dated May 20, 1688,
the tract is called Hopewell, and when on February 20, 1699,
application was made by the inhabitants north of the falls of the
Delaware for a new township, they requested in the petition that it be
called Hopewell. He resided within the boundaries of old Hopewell
township in the vicinity of the present site of the Hospital for the
Insane now in Ewing township."

+2. (*) ANDREW born 25 Aug 1753; died 5 Aug 1835 Seneca Co.
NY. In a deed dated 4 Feb 1801 Hunterdon Co NJ, Andrew sold his
share of inherited property to Jeremiah Burroughs. In this deed
the wife of Andrew is named MARY and is possibly the mother of all of
the children. Andrew and his family were among a large colony of
Hopewell NJ families who emigrated to Seneca County NY about
1800. They traveled with large canvas-covered wagons drawn by
oxen through a wilderness with no roads or bridges. Seneca County
was an unbroken wilderness in the midst of the spectacular Finger Lakes
far from any civilized settlements. It was here that these hardy
pioneers cultivated the land and planted their orchards and raised
their families. Andrew Smith purchased by deed of 2 July 1801
Military Lot 71 of about 600 acres bordering Cayuga Lake for
$2400; here he planted vineyards which today produce some of the area's
finest grapes for the growing wine industry. As early as 1805 in
Seneca County NY, there is a deed recorded in which Andrew and wife
named Jane/Jeane sell part of Lot 71 to Samuel M. Smith. Jane is
named in other property transactions until 1816; in 1831, when Andrew
deeds the remaining property to son, Timothy, Jane is no longer
mentioned so it is assumed she died between 1816 and 1831. Land
transaction: 2 July 1801 - James Reed and Joanna of Amenia; 629
acres $2400; to Andrew Smith.
MISC.: Andrew Smith purchased Military
Lot.

Growing tired, as it is said, of the monotony of farm life and
longing
for the excitement and amusement incidental with life in the city,
Daisy Smith, thirty-five years old, wife of Frank E. Smith of Romulus,
left her home and husband some months ago and came to this city to
live. That's the prologue. Yesterday Frank E. Smith of Romulus, a
prosperous farmer, came to town
in search of his wife, in response to a letter, so he claimed, that he
received from her several days ago in which she promised that if
he would
come to the city and bring $25 with which to buy her new clothes, she
would return to the farm with him. It does not follow that Smith parted
with the $25, nor does he divulge
the difficulties experienced in inducing his wife to return home. At
any rate he must have met with a refusal for late yesterday afternoon,
he secured a warrant from Judge Wyckoff charging his wife with being a
vagrant and having no visible means of support. Chief Kane took the
warrant and went out to hunt for the woman. He visited a place where
she had been staying but was informed that she was out. He had reason
to question his informant's veracity but decided not to search the
house until later. He returned to the station and was followed shortly
after by the woman wanted. She was informed that she was under arrest
and was immediately
arraigned, charged with vagrancy. She pleaded guilty and sentence was
deferred upon her promise to return to Romulus with her husband. The
couple left town last night. Judge Wyckoff gave the woman some good
advice finishing with the
statement that if she was ever found in the city again, acting as she
had been during her recent stay here, she will be severely dealt with.
