HIRAM SMITH, JR., was the youngest child of his parents' family, born August 25, 1799. He was continuously a resident of Troy, having resisted the "western fever" to which he at one time at least gave serious heed. He was an officer in the militia of the day, his name appearing on a call, June 13, 1818, for an "Officers Court," addressed to "the officers of the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 4th Regiment of the Morris Brigade." In 1833, leaving his brother, Samuel P., still living at the then Smith homestead (known now as the Edgar G. Smith place), he removed his family to the present homestead, about a half a mile nearer Parsippany, opposite the "Milk House Road," across the meadow. He was a most active and energetic man, in addition to the duties required by the management of his estate, organizing and directed during his life the conduct of an extensive business in transporting to and distributing in New York City the various dairy products of his own and adjoining communities of Morris county, New Jersey, and from Orange county, New York, etc. He was a trustee and liberal supporter of and subscriber to the erection of the new Presbyterian church edifice at Parsip- pany in 1828. He died in Troy, New Jersey, September 14, 1865, and was buried at Parsippany ; see gravestone record there. Will dated June 4, 1862, recorded Morristown, New Jersey. The latter records that at the request of his sons, Sam- uel B., J. Condit and George W., no provision was made for them in the division of the estate.
On September 9, 1822, he married Mary Allen Osborn, of Parsippany, New Jersey, born there, April 25, 1802, died at Troy Hills, April 16, 1872, and buried at Parsippany (see gravestone record), only child of Thomas Osborn, Jr., and his wife, Hannah Howell, both of Parsippany.
She was educated in the famous Moravian Seminary for Girls at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, then distant many days travel by stage or coach. She was also one of three Parsippany girls who in the early years of the last century were and always continued intimate and attached friends, of whom the others were Marcia Condit, later Mrs. Gordon Burnham, of Morristown, New Jersey, and Julia Anna Cobb, later Mrs. William Coventry H. Waddell. Rearing all of her family of nine children to manhood and womanhood, and the head of the home during the childhood and early youth of six of her grandchildren, she filled a large place in their needs, and left in them numerous and enduring monuments to her many graces of character which are so aptly set forth in the New York Observer for May 2. 1872, in the following notice which also records her death. A gravestone at Parsippany notes the dates of her birth and death and marks her place of burial.

WADDELL-SMITH
The translation of this lady, as her removal in almost an instant of time makes it appear so to us, is a sore bereavement not alone to her afflicted family but to the community in which she dwelt; for every interest affecting society, moral, social, religious found in her a warm, cordial and active support. She was a remarkable person, few so much gifted, a central figure in our social fabric, the mother of a large family. She appreciated her re- sponsibilities by unwearied efforts for their moral and religious cultivation. In early life she became a member of the church in this place and her fidelity to the obligations which she then assumed have been beautifully exemplified in her daily life. The most prominent trait in her Christian character was her childlike simple faith in the promises of God; no adversities or trials ever impaired her confidence; her closet fortified her to meet cheerfully every emergency in life and to accept every event however mysterious, as directed by infinite wisdom. She was never overwhelmed by doubts of shadows; her spiritual vision was ever clear; her activities were never abated by the gloom which darkens the pathway of many. She has left to all her children and grandchildren rich legacies in councils and instructions faithfully given, often repeated; and has, lastly, invited them all very tenderly 'to join her in that better country and unite with her throughout eternal ages in thanksgiving and praise for the grace which saves us'."
Thomas Osborn, Jr. ("Deacon" Osborn), born October 12, 1753, and died July 27, 1818, buried at Parsippany, New Jersey, was the son of Thomas Osborn, Sr., born July 7, 1716, died December 19, 1803, and his wife, Phoebe Hand (daughter of David Hand and Patty Campbell, see Littell's "Passaic Valley," p. 177), born October 31, 1718, died October 28, 1811. He saw Revolutionary War service as a lieutenant in Captain Baldwin's company, Eastern Battalion (Stryker's "Officers and Men of N. J. in the Revolutionary War," p. 430). He at one time owned part of the homestead of George Washington Smith, of Parsippany, deeding same in 1798 to Sylvester Halsey. Thomas Osborn, Jr., was a deacon in the Baptist church at Morristown, New Jersey, but after moving from Rockaway, New Jer- sey, his residence was at Parsippany, on the road from Parsippany to Whippany or Malapardis, occupied during the Revolutionary War by the family of Governor Livingston and known latterly as the Benedict place.

Smith residence, June 20, 1763, died March 20, 1829; married (first) Major Lem- uel Minton, of the Continental army, of Littleton, New Jersey, for whose descend- ants, among others, in the families of Mason, Miller of Chicago, see tree of de- scendants of Edward Howell, of Southampton, Long Island, by George W. Howell, of Morristown, New Jersey), was the daughter of Gideon Howell, of Troy, later of Littleton, Morris county, New Jersey, born January 26, 1728, died January 20, 1803 (and Sarah Gordon, married, April 2, 1753 ; see Hanover, New Jersey marriages), son of Edward Howell (married Abigail -- , June 13, 1712), died October 13, 1772, son of Richard Howell, of Southampton, Long Island, fourth son of Mr. Edward Howell, one of the original patentees of South- ampton, Long Island, and whose name occupies a place of special prominence in the early history of Long Island. He was made "Freeman," Boston, March 14, 1639. His children were born in England, as per record of their birth on parish register of Marsh Gibbon, county Bucks, wherein he is referred to as "Gentle- man"; by a sale concluded July 8, 1639, he sold for £1600 his manor of Westbury, which had been purchased by his grandfather. William Howell, in 1536. (See Howell's "History of Southampton, L. I.," also "Doc. Hist. State, N. Y.").

From the date of its founding, one of the most interested workers for and sup- porters of the "Children's Home" of Morris county, at Parsippany; and principally responsible for the raising of its endowment fund.
GEORGE WASHINGTON SMITH, born Troy, New Jersey, October 2, 1832; studied at "Ailanthus Hall," Parsippany, New Jersey, and Williston Academy, Easthamp- ton, Massachusetts. In 1856 he removed to Monee, Will county, Illinois, where with his brother, J. Condit Smith, he was engaged as a planter ; their initial, joint and equal purchase from the Illinois Central Railroad Company, in Will county, including Section 8, the south half of Section 4, and 40 acres of Section 6, in Township No. 33, Range 13 East. His later individual holdings included Section No. 17 and parts of Sections 2, 4, 32 and 34, in Will county, and other farming and timber lands in Jackson, Fayette, Champaign, and Iroquois counties, Illinois, and in Northwestern Indiana. In 1864 he purchased from Hiram Colwell the Abraham Smith place, of Troy, New Jersey (later owned and occupied in the order indicated by Thomas Osborn Smith, J. Condit Smith, and H. T. Brumley).
At the breaking out of the war it was mutually agreed with his brother, J. Con- dit Smith, that one of them would offer his services to his country, while the other operated and looked after their mutual interests; the latter falling to his lot. During the war he was also extensively engaged in furnishing supplies to the government. In 1868 (but some months following his marriage) he exchanged
795
WADDELL-SMITH
with Smith Lewis, Sections 8 and 17, Will county, Illinois, and a cash bonus, for the Burrough's farm and residence, near Columbia, later Afton, now Florham Park, between Madison and Hanover, Morris county, New Jersey (now owned by Lloyd Waddell Smith), where he lived from 1869 to 1883. Failing in business in 1876, though declining to take advantage of the relief afforded by the bank- ruptcy laws, he was obliged to give up his home, and a few years later removed his family to Troy, New Jersey. During 1883-4 he took part in the construction of the Chicago & Atlantic Railroad (now Chicago & Erie Railroad), built by Conant and (J. Condit) Smith, returning in 1885 to Parsippany, where at his residence formerly known as the Hall Place, part of which had been the property of Thomas Osborn, Jr., before 1798, he lived until his death in 1906.
From early boyhood until his last years, his decided preference for and enjoy- ment in a life close to nature, was frequently made manifest. Possessed of remark- able health and physical vigor until his final illness, he will nevertheless be remem- bered by those who knew him, for his singular and unaffected gentleness of speech and disposition, combined with a directness of address and a never failing spirit of democratic hospitality and generosity in all of which those with whom he came in contact fully shared. He was always a Democrat in politics, though not an active partisan; and a trustee of the Presbyterian Church of Parsippany, within the sound of whose bell and the sight of whose steeple he spent quietly the last twenty years of his life. He died February 21, 1906, and was buried at Parsippany, New Jersey.
He married, April 8, 1868, at New York City, S. Alice Waddell. Their children, all born near Madison, New Jersey (at the present residence of Lloyd Waddell Smith), were:
