THE DESCENDANTS OF PETER SMITH

AND MARGARET MacMILLAN, HIS WIFE

March 20, 1973

The creation and preservation of the attached Smith family history is due to the following persons:

(1) George Peter SMITH [1883-1972] m.to Catherine MALONEY [1883-1962], Johnstown, NY. Mr. Smith sent copies of many documents to Mrs. Price in the 1960's including the "excerpts" from his notebooks reproduced in the attached history.

(2) Emily Helen CAMPBELL [1901-1982] m.to Earl Marshall PRICE [1903-c1980], Vancouver, BC. In 1970 Mrs. Price compiled a 70-page manuscript "The Campbells from Auchindrain" (TCFA) on page 59 of which she wrote: "I have also a great deal of information re your particular Smiths and their kin ••• Some day I may type it all out for you but not right now."

(3) Helen Ruth SMITH [b.l911] m.to Edward Louis BAUER [1910-1981], Nassau, Long Island, NY. Mrs. Bauer is the daughter of George Peter SMITH and Catherine MALONEY. She received the Smith history from Mrs. Price in 1972, updated and retyped it, added "postscripts" of her own, and made copies for family members.

(4) Margaret Catherine (Peg) SMITH [1897-1974] who lived in Hinckley, NY, with Abram Butler (Abe) PRATT [1895-1976], widower of her sister Isabell Jane SMITH [1895-1960]. Miss Smith and Mr. Pratt received one copy of the history from Mrs. Bauer in 1973.

(5) John Butler PRATT [b.l920] m.to Mary Margaret GRAY [1919-1991], Hinckley, NY. Mr. Pratt is the son of Abram Butler PRATT and Isabell Jane SMITH. He loaned me his family's copy in 1997.

(6) Edward Wesley LOLLIS II [b.l937] m. Schera CHADWICK [b.l947], Belts­ville, MD. In 1997 I entered all names into a computer database. And in 1998 I made the attached copy of the report. This copy includes: 1+~43es:

Dear Margaret,

Well, here it is at last - the Smith Family History. I do wish Dad had lived to see it because he is responsible for so much or it.

As· you will see from the enclosed letter on page 1, Mrs. Price was the one who compiled the information. I merely copied what she had written about the "Canadian kin". But I was able to bring our branch of the family up to date.

We had it xeroxed and made copies for my four living aunts, the MacElwees, Katherine van Keuren Ormsby's daughter, Polly Longsworth, Margaret Bullock, my two brothers, and you.

It has been ot great interest to me, and it comes at a time when I am not too busy with family concerns and can really devote some time to it. I hope the readers will get as much pleasure from it as I have.

We have had such a mild winter that I can hardly believe it is Spring already. I remember the winters in Hinckley so clearly. There were times when I couldn't get home to Elm Flats and I stayed with my aunt Helen Wilt. When she moved to Utica ~ parents made arrangements for me to stay with a married school teacher. The buildings along&e main street had porch roofs extending over the side walks, and when the area was shovelled out after a storm it was just like walking through a tunnel. The boys and girls all used the hill just east of the schoolhouse for sledding and teboganning.

I think we have bad our driveway plowed onl7 twice this winter. We kad occasional snow but it never lasted. In Flushing Joan says they had two inches of snow this winter!

I hope you have been well and able to enjoy the compan7 ot your young peeple.

Dear Margaret,

You write the most interesting letters - probably because your family

does such interesting things! I can imagine that your niece Margaret might

consider the unsettled state in which she tound herself in Europe rather more

annoying than interesting. She probably has learned to adjust well through

the years with a man who is transferred so often. It has been a wonderful

experience for the young people to have an opportunity to attend the different

·schools.

I thought when I married an engineer from R.P.I. that we would travel

and work in different countries; but he was a chemical engineer who got into

quality control work, and last month he celebrated his 40th. anniversary with

the company. It doesn't seem possible, but we •ill be retired people in

seventeen months.

I have been sending these Corrections and Additions to all the interested

members of the family, and I have been at the typewriter all day. I '·

procrastinated and now I am paying the price by being rushed. For one thing,

I want to get these into the mail before the price of postage goes up on

Saturday - my Scottish inheritance! For another, Joan, Walter, and little

Kristin were due to arrive for a visit this afternoon (have now arrived, in

tact) and I can keep Kristin away from my work table just so long! Walter

will have to go back on Monday, but Joan will stay up for a week. They live

in Flushing, and we are so glad they found gas enough to come up.

We have had such a ni~e, mild winter. I wonder bow it has been in

Hinckley. It seems to me the snow used to be deeper and the drifts higher

than any where else in the world.

24 FRIENDS ARE MY STORY

through my mother's family, who also sailed from Scotland to America.

To leave the old country in a sailing vessel must have called for really great decision and enormous courage. Perhaps it took mo.nths and years to reach this decision. Doubtless letters were written to friends in America, and it took a long ti.me for answers to come back. There must have been anx­iety of heart before the venture was made. Money had to be obtained for the trip, and much of the food had to be taken by the individual families for the voyage. This preparation was especially difficult when there were several in the family, and in my Grandfather and Grandmother Malcolm Campbell's family there were Neil, Peter, Mary, Margaret, and John. The youngest' child, Duncan, was born later in America.

It is regrettable that one does not obtain fuller records of family history before the parents are gone. My father must have known the names of his grandparents and perhaps of his g reat-grand­parents, but he left no record of them. He did not correspond with his cousins left in Scotland until he had retired from the farm to town at the age of sjxty. While I have letters of this correspondence, nowhere in them do I find any mention of his grand­parents.

I The Campbell's sailing vessel came to a port on

the St. Lawrence River, and there they disembarked. They settled in New York, near Hi,nc~ley, which is a few miles north of Utica. In this county of Herki-

ONTARIO 25

mer I am not sure they found the greater fertility of land which they sought, for when a few years ago I visited the farm on which they settled, I found the land to be very sandy.

When I visited the farm, an English family was living there, and the boy, some fifteen years of age, showed me a penny he had found on the farm, dated 1817. I thought perhaps my grandparents might have lost this penny, so I asked if he would take a dollar for it, and he was glad to make the exchange.

On my return to St. Louis I showed the penny to friends and told them that likely my people had lost it over a hundred years ago. One of the group said that he could not give credence to this specula­tion for my people were too recently from Scotland to have lost the penny!

This New York farm overlooks the beautiful Mo­hawk Valley. While it is a less scenic place than Inveraray, it nevertheless has a most pleasant view. The two houses my people found there, or perhaps built, are still s'tanding.

Perhaps because of the lack of fertility of the land, all the Campbells finally left New York and went to Ontario, Canada. A number of relatives remained in New York. My grandmother's people, the Smiths, who had also settled. in this region, mostly remained in New York, and some of the descendants now live in Albany, Utica, New York City, and Syracuse.

. ' March 17, 1972

Dear Mr. Smith:

Deoaueo ot boaltb roauoAe 1 had to sivo Up,writins and tJPiDf tor a few· months, but X am feeling better now and am back at the old at.and or should I say typewriter) again. ·

Long ago I told you that I would gather all the information I bad about Smiths and the descendants of your Smiths and put it all together for you. ~his I have now done. I made four copies. The ribbon wasn't too good so I am keeping the hard copy for ~ own reference file and sending you a carbon copy. I am also sending one to your sister ·and one to a descendant of Isabel Smith in 0Dtario. You will be amazed to see how 1:1any Canadian kin you have. .' Of course, some parts are still missing and I don't know if we'll ever find them but I'll keep on trying. It our health and :tl.nances penidt we may take a trip

. to Ontario in early summer and it we do make the trip perhaps I might be abl·e to find out more. there. ·

Is there any way of finding out if Sarah Smith died ia the.States and is buried there? Also, is there any way of finding out.the names of her three ~ssing _children?. There were ten, remember, and we only know about seven.

Thank you for the write-up about the Blues. Is the son, Ernest,· still alive? We happen to know about some Blues in North Knapdale and have records of same because the wife was a Campbell.. Thank you, too, tor the information re. the Beatons. Perhaps, when I get my correspondence doWn to no~al ·again, I may write to them and ask if they had any kin in Canada and have old letters, etc. By the way9 in checking over ay Dotes I began to wonder it I had given you the right information re. the place where John Johnston was murdered. Seems to me I said Boston. Actually, the murder took place in Buffalo, N. Y.

I hope that you are well and that the enclosed papers may be of interest to you. Anyway, you will now-have all the records and bits of information in one place and not have to search through letters tor it.

·· . Yours sincerely, J' l CJ ... e 2 o 0 1 Emily (Campbell) Price 1 'ol- 1Cf.82-

P.S. You spoke of reimburs~g me ••• It is true that I did have some research done about your people in fcotland on my own, but the most of it was paid for by Douglas Argyle Campbell. He is a millionaire and could afford to do it. As for my OWD eXpenditures re. the Smiths ••• torget about it; you didn't ask me to do it. so you don't owe me anything •. Anyway, re. the two who married Campbells, we .had already gathered information about because we had lists made of all Campbell marriages and births, including the marriages of and births to Campbell women, in certain parishes because we were interested in those parishes. Having gathered tha~ information I saw no reason why I should hog it.- I am a _Canadian and Canadians are people just like Americans are. You went to a good deal of trouble to supply information re. your Campbell kin which I used iD the· article I wrote for them, so you just don't owe anybody anything.

. Duncan Smith, his wife Catherine and three ·or more children came from Scotland to the Town of Russia, Herkimer County, .N. Y. and lived tor a number of years on· part ot tne Moon Farm. The spot is now back trom the preaent highway in .

. a field called "the Campbell ·lot". They came before the year 1812. I have read · an old letter which mentions that they hear by courier every month that war is expected with the mother count.ry (England) - the war of 1812. This letter mentions his sorrow.at-hearing ot the poor health of his mother and other relatives in : Scotland; and.also the fact t~at some relatives that came here.with him had left and gone south to the State ot South·Carolina. (I have three letters from.these South Carolina people written to Catherine Smith and her son Peter.) In this old letter he says he has four children and mentions that some of his relatives have money and wealth and could do well in this country •. From tales I have heard he was very poor and they had a very hard time to get enough to eat. When digging potatoes he got every tenth bushel for his pay when working for others.

They lived like this for five or more ye.rs, very poor but with a desire t·o own and live on land of his own. By hard work and saving every dollar he possibly could, by 1816 he and his wife were able to buy twenty-five acres with a small log house on it for $250. They did not occupy this place until 1817 after my grand­father Peter was born. He was born on the Moon Farm, the last. of their children. There.may have been other children born between Mary and Peter, and it they died .young they were no doubt·buried somewhere on.the land occupied by them, as was the custom in those days. . · ·

. : In 1818 an iron adne was opened at Old Forge, N. Y. Duncan was called to build the forge and instruct in the operation of· it. While there· h~ ·was taken. sick, came home, and died March 251 18181 aged 44 years •

•. •... ·

· Some of the twenty-~ive acres she owned .had been cleared of the forest and . the virgin. soil was rich and being of a sandy nature was easy to till. ·Her

: ·. · · ; ·scottish stubborness came in good at this time as all they owned was the small · · · · . log house, the land, a cow, some sheep, and a· pig. How she did ·it, I don't know,

.. but I do lcnow she did it as she laid the foundation for wha~ was afterwards known · as the Elm Flats Fariu.

For twenty-three years she lived in that little log house, working and planning for more and better things. Her daughters Margaret and Isabel married; Anna died; Dougal disappeared and was never heard from; Mary worked out, also taught ~chool; Peter stayed home with Catherine. .

.. · ·Fourteen years after the first purchase ot .land· by her and Duncan, she purchased 16 acres adjoining the original 25 acres for SSO,-Feb. 161 18301 from f.tatthew Prendergast. · ·

· Four years after this purchase she bought 25 acres, ·adjoining hers on the . east from Orin s. Clark, April 17, 18341 price $200. She paid $72 cash and took over a mortgage ot $128 1 ·which slle paid later.

She was now fifty-eight years old. During these years of accumulating.land ·she managed to give her children a lair education, which was reading, writing, · and arithmetic. I have seen letters and business papers with their signatures in their handwriting and the formation and expression used were above the average• A great many people in those times could not read or write. · ·

Peter was now seventeen and doing his part ~f the manu&l labor or wresting . a living from the soil. Oxen were the motive power tor plowing, but the sowing, planting, cultivating, and harvesting were·work to be done by hand. The soil was rich and there were no pests or bugs to tight; the bugs were to arrive.later. They raised corn, wheat, tlax, potatoes, and garde~ crops. The grain they took to 'the grist JDill at Black Creek (now Grant), and it was ground into meal and flour. They produced all they could at home; from the wool of their sheep they made mittens, scarfs, socks and stockings, shawls, and other woolen clothes; the hides trom the animals ~hat they killed tor meat were tanned ·into·leather and then made into boots and shoes. The men all wore boots. They made candles to · furnish light. and soft soap for cleansing. From their wood asnes they made lye and they saved all their greas~ and from the two made soft soap. ~e ~as one way ot making cash: as they cleared the land and burned the trees the ashes were leached out into lye and potash. Utica was the market where they could·sell it. They would start at three o'clock in the morning with a t·eam and load, arriving back home about midnight, a trip of thirty-five miles.

I have a contract drawn up by Catherine,_ in her handwriting, in which she sold some timber; it states the price, the size of trees to be cut, and a time limit in which the job is to be completed. .

In 1838 Catherine was sixty-two years old. Her son Peter was twenty-one on · March 11, 1838. The following month, on April 24, 1838, Peter bought frQm John H. Ostrom (one-time mayor·of Utica) eleven acres of ·land adjoining his mother's on the east for $80. On April 28 1 1838, Peter bought from Samuel ·Talcott 33 acres adjoining-his mother's'on the west for $700. This property had a frame house on

-the Elm Flats road. They lived in the log house from 1817 to 18401 twenty-three years. In ·1~40

they moved into the Talcott frame house. Peter married in 1843 or 1844. His first daughter was born in October, 1845.

_On October 181 18461 aged seventy years, Catherine died.

. ·Regarding the children of Duncan and Catherine Smith: ·

1. Margaret Smith, ·their eldest daughter, married lfilliam. ·cmuthe~s in 1823. · . They.l~ved .on the road leading from Grant to ·cold Brook, Town of _Russia, Herkimer ·· County,· N. Y. They had twelve children and were well ott in their old age.·

2. Anna Smith died on November 25, 18221 at the age.of.twenty. She was.·· · always described as having 11light kinky hair". . · . .. .

3.- ·zsabel Smith married Gilbert Blue the _same week that· her sister· Margaret was marr~ed, ·b~t. not the same day as the log house was too small for a double.· ... :. wedding. _'Gilbert Blue died in "1829 at the age of twenty-six, leaving her a wi~ow . with two daughters, Ann and Flora •. Isabel, now twenty-five, returned bome·with her two children. She was a widow for fifty-eight years. Her daught-er Ann ; · .. married Allen Blue, a cousin. In 1848 Flora married·John·Preston.- They bad one. daughter.· They lived in North Gage, Herkimer County. '(In 1898 they celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary.) In 1844 and 1845 Flora worked for her Uncle Pet~r. Smith 9D Elm Flats F:.arm d..,aring· the first years he was marri.ed. She ·was eighteen or nineteen. (This from Peter's accouni book.)

4. Dougal Smith was injured while working in the woods telling trees with an _older r~lative.· A tree became lodged and Dougal went up into.the tree to free it

;·

. and was knocked to the ground and ·injured. At intervals in later years this caused . him to leave his home and be gone for daye at a time, always ret~ing with no explanation as to·where he had been. (Possibly_ amnesia.) He was in his teens when injured and had.these spells of going away untii young manhood.~ The last time he went· he never returned. His mother ·spent about three years: looking for him. She would hear that he was seen in first one place, then another. \f.hen she got there he would be gone. (News and means of travel were slow.) Finally she had a dream; she thought she saw him asleep in the big woods ot the Adirondacks and a bear came al~ng and killed him. The dream was so vivid that afterwards she ~lways said he was dead. At least, she never looked tor him any more. As to Dougal, I have no record of his birth or death - only the tale just written. .·<=·;; .. : . · ·

.5. Mary Smith, when not working out, made her home .with her .mother· ~d ·.brother Peter until her marriage to William Gay, a widower. She was also·'·a-=-school_ :teacher and I bave in my possession a permit issued in 1837 which allowed her to .teach school. She was then twenty-five years· old. She and William Gay had no chii_dren •

. ··she was the only one of Duncan and Catherine's family I ever saw. I was .seven. ··years old when I was at her house in Gang )fills (Hinckley) 1 _and I remember ~er · ·

smoking a piper I have the bill tor William Gay's. funeral- hearse, crape, casket, · and rough box: 835. _ ·

6. Peter Smith, the last of the children, was my grandfather. He married·his ·cousin, )mrgaret Smith, around 1843 or 1844.

(Both of my paternal great-grandfathers were named Duncan Smith. Catherine Smith married Duncan Smith, no relation, came to the u.s. before 1812. Catherine•s· brother, Duncan Smith, married Isabel Leitch; they came to the u. s. in 1822. . · Catherine and Duncan's son Peter married his cousin Margaret, daughter of Duncan and Isabel Leitch Smith.) ·

Upon his mother's death in 18461 Peter paid his sisters for their share in her property and he took full possession. He continued to buy land. On Jan. 28 1 1847, Peter and wife bought 102 acres of·land with house and barns and 15 cows

. from Roland Holliday tor $3000. He gave a mortgage for·$2000 1 which he paid Nov. 61 1852. This parcel was north of where they lived. · ·

On Nov. ·30, 1848 1 Peter and wife bought from Abner Moon 3 parcels - 25 acres, : 50 acres,.and 51 acres, a total of 126 acres, with house, barns, and 16 cows for ·

S2530. These parcels were located on the west side of the highway, across from. where they were living. . · . · ·

Following this they moved into the house purchased from Moon, and in later years enlarged the house from a one~and-a-half storey to a two-storey with · additions, making it a sixteen room house. · ·

On June 7 1 18561 Peter and wife bought from Richard Millington 44 acres, adjoining on the south, for $863. This 44 acres was woods and·was called . •iThe Brushingham" - why, I don • t know.

Peter was now thirty-nine years old and he owned 377 acres of farm land · · known as the Elm Flats. Farm.

. In 1864 he built one of the first big barns in ·the town, 100 tt. long, .· : 44 tt. wide, with stantions tor 56 cows~ hand hewn timbers put together vith

wooden pins. Be bought the shingles from a woman who split and shaved them by. · hand and delivered them by team and wagon. He set the barn by compass.so that the west end; facing the house, was straight north and south, ·so he could tell . the time of day by the sun. There was no standard time until late in the 1880's.· ..

· Peter was a dairy farmer, made cheese and butter, also took in his neighbors• milk which was made into cheese. He sold the cheese in Utica, taking it to Utica by team and wagon. Once on a trip home at night he stopped at the Forrest House, a halfway spot·where everybody stopped; when he cam~ out his team had left and he had to walk home - a ten mile hike; the team was about a mile ahead of him all the wayl·

Peter bad a breed of horses ·known as "Morgans". During the war between the states government buyers w~uld buy horses from him; they wanted the best horses tor.the officers. ·

· One summer he.had two brood mares, each with a yearling colt and each with a colt ·a few weeks old •. He sent his son, Stewart, 14 years old, to take salt to the horses. ·When Stewart got to the pasture·the horses were gone, but he saw tracks.in the, road. He retur~ed home, got a horse hitched to a two-wheel cart and started to follow the.tracks. It was easy as roads were dirt and not much . travelled. Enquiring along the way, nobody had seen any horses. Still following ·· the tracks he came to a blacksmith shop at Westernville, near Rome, N. Y. His :horse was getting lame as it had no shoes on. Stewart told the blacksmith his story, said he would like to llave bis horse shod but he·had no money, ·but . promised·that his father would pay. The horse was shod, and as it was almost dark the smithy had him stay all night.

After breakfast the. next morning .Stewart·siarted 1 still following the hoof, tracks. ·After going a few miles he saw a man standing by a·barway leading into a.field, and holding halters in his hand. He asked·the man it he had seen any· horses. The man said no. Stewart·continued on for a ways but couldn't ·see any tracks, so he r~turned to the barway where he bad spoken to the man. The man· wa~ ·gone. Stewart opened the ba~s, drove into the field and away back out of · ·· · sight of the.road were .the horses. He caught one and the rest followed •. He. returned hozne. and the f~llowing day hi·s father paid tbe blacksmith. .

. Peter would go to Canada, buy cows to bring back home, build up a dairy and sell it. ·I have the bills of sale.

I have contracts in which he agrees to sell all his cheese, made from the milk of forty cows, tor $6.11 per cwt., delivered in Utica. ·· .

One day Peter and my father Argyle, then a boy of ten, were standing by the road in front of their home when a man on horseback came along and told them that President Lincoln had been shot. Peter immediatelY. went to the village to hear . more about it. . .

Peter was. a great reader and intere$ted in all the news of the country. It was said that his children could be making all kinds ot noise around him and.his concentration was so· great he would never look up from his newspaper. .

He held the offices of school commdssioner, highway commissioner, assessor, and in 1876 was elected supervisor from the Town of Russia •

.Among his friends and relatives.he was.known as "Black Pete111 or 11Peter the

First"; his cousin and· brother-in-law was known as "Red Pete" or 11Peter the · Second"- one having black hair and the other red hair •

. Peter at times borrowed money from his brothers-in-law, Allen, Daniel, and Alex Smith. The day that the interest was due they would be at his house to collect it, sometimes before breakfast. I have a book in which he wrote in a big bold band that he has paid them in tul1 and owes them nothing.

In 1871 Allen and Alex tried to sell P~ter the Charlie·Lot. (This·was a lot on the south sid~ of the Prospect-Pardeeville road,~ owned by Charlie Prindle and rented out for pasture land.) Peter said that he had all the land he wanted or needed, so they worked on Peter•s sons, Stewart (22) and Douglas (19)1 · told them that· was a good place for young stock. Peter tfied to tell the boys that

.the price was too high-but the uncles won out. Stewart and Douglas paid $1500 tor 62.93 acres.

Regarding the children of Peter and Margaret·· Smith: . Peter's wife Margaret died April 22, 18591 after giving"birth to a daughter,

Margaret Isabel, April 161 1859. Peter was left a widower with seven children: ~arion, 14; Stewart, 10; Katherine, 9; Douglas, 7; Argyle, 5; John, 2; Margaret, 6 days. ·

·on the day of Margaret's funeral her brothers, Daniel, Allen, and Alex took. John, aged 2 years, home with them. From that time on he always made his home with them. Their home on the Elm Flats road was about one-half mile from Peter's ·. home. . ·

Peter's sister, Isabel, who had married Gilbert Blue and been left a widow with two daughters in 1829 at the age of 251 was now fifty-five years old, and she came to keep house .and care for his children until they grew up. ·she died in · .. 1887 at the age of eighty-three.

Sometime during the 1850's or '60's the Andrew Derrick tamily came from Lansingburgh1 ·N. Y. (now North Troy) and located on a fa~ about one and one-half

·miles·trom Peter's farm. They had five chil~en: Adelaide, Margaret, Thomas, Billy, and Adam. Andrew had conducted a grocery store in Lansingb~gh.

·In 1925 George and Catherine.sold the farm,· animals, and all equipment to Arthur Lawson - 109 years after the first purchase by Duncan Smith. They retained

· the "Charley Lot", tha:t 62.93 acres bought by Stewart and Douglas Smith from their uncles. This lot had ~een used as pasture land f~r young· stock. In 1926 George and Catherine and chil~en began reforesting it in Scotch pine. Five generations o·t Smiths had lived on Elm Flats. (They still do - the John Pratt family is living on t~e Duncan Smith ~lm_Flats Farm.) · Arthur Lawson operated the farm, cut off all the timber; during his ownership the barn burned down.

in which he and Catherine lived for sixteen years. Catherine died in 19621 and George continued to live there alone until the amp~tation of a leg forced him to take up residence with his son and daughter-in-law, Robert Argyle and Hilda Smith, in Johnst9wn, N. Y~, where Robert is a dental surgeon.· George sold his home in the late 1960's, but he held title to the "Charlie LOt" as long as he lived. He

·lived. out his life with his son in Johnstown, ·happy arid active in gardening and · outdoor. work in a·wheel chair, and even operating a tractor. He died in his sleep. March 21 19721 aged 88 years, 9 months. lie is buried in St. Joseph's Cemeter,y in

·Troy, N·. Y., beside his wife Catherine. His son, Robert Argyle Smith, is no~ the· ·owner of the "Ch~lie Lot". J'f..t:J•It:tat.

In all of George Peter Smith's family histories he has the first known Peter Smith married to a Katherine McAlpin. However, according to Mrs. Price, the records in ·Scotland show that our ancestor Peter Smith was married to a Margaret Mac)allan. George Peter got his information from relations. His cousin, Marion James van Keuren said that· her mother (Katherine )-tcAlpin Smith, daughter. of Peter and )fargaret Smith) told her that she was n~ed tor her grandmother, a McAlpin. We know, however, that her paternal grandmother was the Catherine Smith who married Duncan Smith, and her maternal grandmother.was Isabel Leitch who married Duncan Smith (brother of her paternal grandmother Catherine.) · ·

So Katherine McAlpin Smith may have been named.for a great-grandmother. According to the records her paternal grandmother (Catherine Smith) and her maternal grandfather (Duncan Smith) were the children of Margaret Mac~ullan ~ so she wasn't named for that great-grandmother~

Her paternal grandfather, Duncan Smith, may have had a McAlpin mother; according to )Irs. Price, "The descendants of Sarah Smith knew that they had a McAlpin great-grandmother", and Sarah.Smith was married to Malcolm Campbell of North Knapdale who was the half-brother o~ Duncan Smith, both·baving the same mother.

. .

· Another possi~iiity is that Katherine McAlpin Smith's maternal grandmothe~, . Isabet Leitch, had a·McAlpin mother. An argument in favor of this is that Isabel's daughter Catherine Smith (Dicker) ·also claimed a McAlpin grandmother. Her paternal grandmother was 1 according to the records, Margaret Mac)li llan; her maternal grand- .. mother would have been the unknown mother of Isabel Leitch.

· A somewhat more remote possibility, but one that satisfies all claims, is that···either Marg~t ){acMillan or her husband, the first Peter Smith, may have had a McAlpin mother; this would give Catherine and Sarah ana their brother Duncan a McAlpin grandmother,· and Katherine McAlpin Smith would have been named tor a great-gr~at-grandmother.

The name "Leitch" has often been spelled "Leach" in the various· family histories and letters. Since it was spelled "Leitch" in the Scottish records, we have spelled-it.that way throughout this history in order to avoid confusion.

Acknowledgements: All credit. for this family history must be accorded ·.)Irs. "Emily Price. It was she who compiled it with information from Anna Isabel Smith,· Katharine van Keuren Ormsby, George Peter Smith, and others with whom I am not ,

· acquainted. My part has been to bring it up to date, to supply missing dates when possible,. to add information which, hopefully, will make us more real to our descendants, and to add the colorful excerpts .from my father's notebooks.

My Aunt Anna Smith, Aunt Helen Martratt, Aunt Gertrude Bornt, Aunt Flo~ence Dallas, cousins Eleanor MacElwee Tuttle, Ruth Dallas Briggs, and Bernice Bornt Ledeboer, and· first-cousin-once-removed Margaret c. Smith have searched their desks, old trunks, and memories to supply most of the information that I have added to the history.

May the reader experience interest and pleasure - and may a future ·gene~logist ~volve. · ••

H~viDg heard from one of his Vancouver cowsins that I knew something about it, ~hat I had not only been born a Campbell but th•t ~ ancestors in Ontario had been well acquainted with bis Campbell ancestors in·Ontario and that I alrea4y knew a tair amount about hie family, he wrote an4. asked ae it· I would take charge of bis researcher.

-4$-information about the Canadian Smiths9 Some time ago I gathered together all the information about the Campbells1 typed it out, and sent it to certain of ~. the Campbells who had helped ~n the research. )~. D. A. Campbell also had some Xerox copies made of what I \Yrote. Some of the pages of the descendents in' these papers have been Xeroxed from.what x· wrote about the Campbells, but not all of them. It is possible that we might be able to find out a bit more about later descendants. I can't ~e sure about that. Anyway, you now have all the information I have at present.

, Regar~ing the Campbells and Clarks of Chesterfield District, So. Carolin~ ,

Isabel (Smith) Campbell and Eleanor (Campbell) Clark were s~st~rs of Duncan Smith, husband of Catherine Smith. · .

. (According to Mrs. Price, Isabel Smith was the only !2!! sister of Duncan Smith of North Knapdale. Eleanor, surname Campbell, was a half-sister of Duncan Smith and full sister ot Malcolm Campbell of North Knapdale, who married Sarah .

. Smith.) ' Isabel, .Eleanor and their husbands came to the Town ot Russia, Herkimer

County, N. Y., stayed a short time, then went to South Carolina •. Isabel and John Campbell had six children. Eleanor and Alexander Clark

had ten _children. In 1840 their post office was Society Hill, Darlington District, s. c.

I was in that section of Chesterfield, s. c., in February, 1952. I went. to the home of Luther Campbell, talked with his brother, Daniel. Be said descendants .· ot the Campbells ~nd Clarks still lived there. Their present address is Patrick, Chesterfield Co., s. c. Luther Campbell·lives a short distance off u. s. Highway #1_, .between Cherow and Patrick, s. c.

North Knapdale had two churches, one at Tayvallich and one at Inverlussa, sometimes written "Inverlussay".

(Note: We could not find John Smith's son Peter in that census; perhaps he was visiting somewhere. John Smith's daughter Margaret was already dead since her husband, Hugh Hays, is married again. Margaret's children were: Samuel, Catherine, Mary, )fargaret, and John. Catherine is staying with her mother•.s parents, as you can see. Margaret's other children are with their father and stepmother. Catherine Smith's age is certainly wrong in that census. Her tc-mbstone dates vork out to her being born in 1797. There are no dates on: John Smith's tombstone, just his name.)

(r~ote·: Malcolm's first wife was Grace Campbell. She was not kin to me but her sister, Margaret, was the wife ot my grandtather·•s brother, Donald Campbell·. Grace w~s the daughter of John Campbell and his wife, Catherine Crawford. In the 1871 census Malcolm Smith is married again and we find his son, Duncan, _liv~ng with his grandfather, John Campbell, but so far have not been able to · find the other two, John and Peter.)

(Note: As you can seQ from above, John Smith must have died between 1861 and 1871 since Catherine is a widow. Again, Peter is away. That· he was·still alive we know because mention was made of him in a diary kept by Mar,r Tindale 1 s · grandfather MacDiarmid. In the 1871 census Catherine Bays' brothers and sisters are still with their father and stepmother. The stepmother~aa tour children in· the 1871 census as against two in.the 18~1 census.)

Excerpt from a letter written in 1838 from Isabel (Smith) Campbell in South Carolina to her sister-in-law, Catherine Smith. "MY sister Eleanor and tamil7 are all well. She has ten children, viz: Daniel, Edward, Archibald, Malcolm, Margaret, Nancy, Alexander, John, and Gilbert. I have not heard trom my brothers and sister now in fifteen years. I cannot give you aQy information respecting them, neither do I hear from the old country."

(Note: Edward is Eleanor's second son and Edward is the Anglicized form of · Iver or Ivor. The second son was usually named after his mother's father. . Daniel is not.the Biblical name but an Anglicized for,m of Donald. Nancy is the same name as Ann. )

. (Note: How· are you going to get away from all those )largarets~ What about the Dugalds? Well, personally, I t~ink that they had a brother Dugald who died about the time Sarah's first son was born. Otherwise, her first son would· have been named Ive~, Edward, or Peter. Malcolm had a brother Dugald but he was still alive at that time because his nephew who was born in 1814 inquires after him. · I also think that Duncan Smith was the son of a Duncan Smith because his sister's second son is Duncan. There must have been an Ann in the family of Duncan's sister but she probably died. A man couldn't name his first ~on after himself even if it was his father's name. The ~glish did it that way but not Highlanders. It is also possible that the four Smiths may ~ave had a brother Neil and also a sister Mar,y, but those

· are things we cannot prove. I think that Sarah Smith must have died in the States before the family moved to Canada.) .

Excerpts from an unfinished letter written June 16, 1812• George Smith · thimcs it was written by Duncan Smith to his wife's brother-in-law, Malc~im Campbell (husband of Isabel Smith) who at that time was still in Scotland. "Delilr Brothe~a I am happy that I had the priviledge to receive your letter on the 12th instant which giv~s me a satisfaction·and pleasure to understand

.about the.weltare of my friends and especially to hear from lather and mother that they are in life though sorrowful about the traility of ~ mother and John situation.

(Description of country is.deleted).

I am surprised ;;hat Dugal ;"· (End of unfinished letter.)

e'::~:~t·~1 A;; .stated, George Smith is inclined to think that thi~ unfinished letter wa;; Wl')."~te;-~ to Malcolm Campbell, I-sabel Smith's husband. I ·could not agree with that because I did not· and do not think that Duncan Smith would ask his aister­~n-law•s husband"to pay for 'the transportation of a couple who had no connection whatsoever with )Jalcolm Campbell •. Nor do I thiDk that there was any connection b!:tween the two Malcolm Campbells ••• S.arah's Malco~m came from North Knapdale; Isabel's Malcolm was the son.of Peter Campbell and Isabel Ferguson and was born in 1787 in ~uchindrain ~n the parish of Inverary (which does not adjoin the 'parish of North Knapdale) and does not have seemed to have gone to South Knapdale ~~til he followed his brother Peter there. Nor could I see why Duncan Smith a!:\.O'!.~,.d bind himself to provide for his mother and stepfather, when the other lt~lcolm Campbell was a son of both Duncan Smith's mother and Duncan Smith's etoptather and he vas living at that very time close to Duncan Smith.

However, recently another thought has occurred to me and this is it: if Dt3ncan Smith called his wife's brother-in-law "Dear Brother•~ 1 then why shouldn't h9 refer to his parents-in-law as ttmy parents"? If it was Peter Smlth and his ~ire he was talking about, then everything fits in becaus~ they.were the parents­in-law of Isabel Smith's husband, too. He could th~retore make a bargain with Malcolm to the effect that if Malcolm paid for the passage ot Peter Smith and his· wife to the States then he, Duncan Smith, would - as the husband of their eldest daughter - agree to look after them once they had arrived in the States. There is also the matter of Lochead. There are several places named that and one of the~ is in South Knapdale and.we know from the baptismal records that Peter . Smith's youngest son had a job on the.estate at Lochead. Peter Smith was probabl7 a tenant farmer and what troubles Duncan Smith is what could have reduced a t~n~nt f~er to holding the position of a common workman. on the estate at Lochead. A tenant farmer was a good middle class person& a workman or labourer was lower in the social scale of that age. ..

Now about the "Jobn situation": We have two stories about John Smith that· Dlight fit in here. 'l'he trouble is that the two stories don't .jibe. Daniel Smith, eon of Daniel and grandson ot John, states in the Kent County Memorial B~~graphy that John Smith "was a soldier on a British man-o-war during a portion ('.tf the Revolution." He means, of course, the war of .1812. This would explain r;h~r Duncan Smith could not write to John Smith. He· would write to his brother­~.r.:law (especially if he put in a few derogatory remarks about: "tyrannical power" wh:J.ch he must have known were untrue) because Malcolm was a farmer, but he · c~rtainly could not write to ~yone in military service in Britain when war ~as· ~hout to be declared between the. two countries without getting himself in. serious t~ouble in the States. George Smith was told this story about John Smith: "Be, hie wife, and two children were ready to sail for the u. s. He was seized and forced into the British Navy. His·wife and children came OQ to the u. s. as their pass~ge was paid. They stayed with hi& sister Catherine tor three years at wbieh time he was relieved from the Davy. He joined his family. ~ter they •~oved to Canada."

John Smith's wife could not have come during the war years. The war ~nd~d in 1814 at which time Katie Smith would be 17 so how could.she be the tlother of two children? Of course, John could have been married twice and

- 57

it was the first wife who came. Or, and this is more likely, John may have t-~~n a ~a.ilo~. \fhen Britain was faced with war she may have forced as many ~·:.=s:.;: $.ailo1•o as possible into the navy, so _John may have .taken part in that wa"t" as is implied by Duncan Smith'.s .not being able to write to him. Later, after ~hew~ ... , he .. may have planned to emigrate, possibly. at the same time as his brother-in-law, Malcolm Campbell, or e~en a year later.when his own brother is said to have emigrated. At that time many press gangs opera~ed in Glasgow, not for the navy but for the merchant marine. Th~ party probably sailed from Glasgow. These press gangs were.paid by the owners ot ahips forth~ men they shangha~ed. ·If John bad been in the navy (and I think he was) he would probably bave what is called "a sailor's walk". Some press gang seeing that walk would know he had already been a sailor (they got more pay tor good sailors) and seized him right on the streets of Glasgow. So his r

wife came out with his kin. If we can get hold of·a.missing portion.of the CS9adian census of 1871 we might find John's son Peter and learn if he was born in Scotland and that would be at least parti·al truth. we· know that he was alive in July 1878 because he was mentioned in the diary I have referred

· to before ·as being "ill at his brother Neil's.": The·reason the letter is unfinished is because war was declared between

Britain and the United States the very next day after that letter was written. I don't know who "Dugal" was. There are just too many possibilities.

Re. Isabel Smith and John Campbell: It is very easy to thiDk that John ·Campbell was a brother of Malcolm Campbell (we've made that sort of mistake otten until we researched deeper) but the evidence is against that. Flora Preston says that Dugald Campbell's father (~falcolm) was a half-brother of ~uncan Smith. Isabel couldn't marry her halt-brother and if John was Malcolm's brother that 1 s what he would be - Isabel 1·s half:.brother. I had a search made to try and fin~ the births of the children of John Campbell and Isabel Smith . (one of the South Carolina letters gives the actual birthdates of some of them) but.without success and I think the answer to that is that.Isabel must have married a John Campbell from the adjoining parish of Kilmartin. A whoie book of records o~ that parish is missing; covering the period from the late 1790's until 1819 and that's the very period in which Isabel Smith was·married and had her children. Furthermore, if Malcolm was not a balf-br~the~ of Duncan Smith, then why would Isabel Smith's son Duncan have expected his cousin Peter ~mith to ~ave heard from them? People did not write that ~aany letters in tho.se days - it coat too much, but if they were Peter Smith's half-uncles too that would be a different matter. I don't think there is any doubt but that Duncan Smith and }~alcolm Campbell were halt-brothers and that they married two full sisters, Catherine and ·sarah Sm~th. · ·

The letter written to Duncan Campbell and brothers by Peter Smith was not, as Anna Smith thought, written to anyone in Scotland but to Peter's cousins in South Carolina in the hope of finding out if they had survived the Civil War.

We know that Catherine Smith must have been named for her grandmother but the recQrds do not go back far enough for us to find the births of either Peter Smith or his wife, so we'll never know the maiden names of the ~wo grandmothers of Catherine Smith. · .

A MacMillan married to a Campbell woman came to Canada in the late 1840's and settled right ·across the road from Malcolm Campbell's·farm. The descendants of Malcolm Campbell and Sarah Smith know that these MacMillans were kin to •them but they don't know how. All they know is that it was "a close kinship" •

;. f~A!-:K5 P'7 ?':·:s,. ·;·:(~CE REGARDING ~liE SCOTTISH Al'lCESTRY OF THE SMITHS - 58 -

r 'Ihe <i&i..es of the five ch.ildren of Peter Smith and Margaret MacMillan seem io have been:

C~therine, 1776 (from the register) to 1846 Sarah, 1779 (from the register) to ? . Isabel Smith, tombstone dates, 5/29/184l,_aged 57 years, makes 1784 · John Smith, circa 1787 1 died between 1861 and 1871 .Canc~.ii Smith, 10/19/18711 aged 82 years and 5 mont·hs -= ·.1789

There vas probably one child, it not two, between Sarah and Isabel., but we don't know anything about them unless the fact that ·Sarah named her first so~ Dugald indicates the recent death of a brother named Dugald. Catherine and John also had sons named Dugald. .

. ·In the Scotland of those days there was a name rule: the first two sons and the first two daughters were almost always named for their grandparents. An exception would be made if a brother or sister died about the time a niece or nephew was born, in which case the niece or·nephew might be named for the d~ceased· uncle or aunt. ·If a child named for a grandparent_died·in infancy or·r. early childhood then a later-born child might have the name passed on to them.

..

!-ly mother, who was born in Scotland, had t\Vo sisters named Catherine (their · grandmother's name), both of whom died in infancy. ·

· . As the generations pass, mix-ups occur frequently. 1-ty 111other knew that her mother had .a grandmother whose maiden name was Campbell. -Because of some-. thing she remembered being told she was quite sure that Isabel Campbell was on ~er mother's father's side oi the house. It took me .a groat deal of time and money to find out that this was not so, that the Campbell grandmother was the mother of my grandmother's mother. I was fortunate in finding a legal document here in Canada that proved that and settled the question once and for all. It

· is·also very easy to mix up generations when one is·dealing with·"greats". My mother did that, too, although she was an intelligent woman and. well up in her family history.

\~th the Smiths, I think that what happened was this: the descendants of ~ath~rine Smith knew that she had been named for an ancestor. Because they were used to people being named for a mother or father they thought it. was her mother she had·been named for (whereas the Scottish name rule would make it a grandmother.)

·The deseendar1ts of Sarah .Sriiith lcnew that they had a )tcAlpin great grand­mother, and both sides forgot that Malcolm Campbell of North Knapdale and Duncan S~ith ot North Knapdale were half-brothers, having the same mother, and remember­ing only that Catherine Smith and Sarah Smith were sisterse

It is, of course, possible that Catherine and Sarah had a )~Alpin grand­~\)the:r because there were Z..IcAlpins in both North and South Knapdale, but I think t=1c.t there can be DO doubt that her mother was Margaret Mac~fillan. .

As tor Duncan Smith being at Furnace: there was a smelter there in his day ~~ so there was plenty of work there for blacksmiths and welders and that was t~;'~ occupation of Duncan S:nith; but I thiDk thAt there is no doubt that his ~~and-daughter, Flora Preston, was right when she said he came from North Knapdale. nis daughter was born there as the-records show.
