Che Smith Family.


The progenitor of the Smith family at | that he stopped until he reached the Franklin and Union N. J., is said to wilds of Shongom, where he met a Dutch girl, who was willing to take a back seat, and they proceeded at once to the Dominie's where the two were made one. Her name was Christiana Derling. have come from Vermont, another ver- sion is that he came from Long Island and was known as "Bold Smith." The Vermont version has a bit of romance that may be a matter of history. His name was William and he had been eu- gaged to a girl in Vermont, and the day was set, and the hour appointed ou which they were at once to proceed to the dominie's as was the common cus- tom, ou horse back, both riding the same horse. As there had been nothing said as to which would take the front seat, as, if two ride on one horse one must necessarily take a back seat. Tra dition does not relate as to the real causes, but the effect was they did not get married.


Being somewhat disappointed in this love affair, he proceeded at once on a long and lonesome journey throught the then wilderness. This must have been as early as 1750, and it is not related


William Smith purchased lands, built a log house and set up housekeep !!::: , and is said to have had nineteen chil- dren. The old homestead is located where his son Gerrett lived. afterward his grandson John, now as the residence of Cornelius L. Smith. William and his sons owned at one time nearly all the lands between Shongom and Frank- lin, then called Pigeon Hill. It was not ont of the order of the day, at that time, for an ordinary hunter and trapper to keep the table well supplied with bear, deer and turkey, and in the season, many of the broad acres of the Smith farm wore literary covered with pix- eons, hance the game Pigeon Hill, it was a paradise to the early settlers
