• Notes

  FROM "THE MICHAEL SHOEMAKER BOOK" ON THE DESCENDANTS FROM LUZERNE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA: "THE THOMAS SMITH FAMILY Thomas Smith, who was married to Mary Green, settled in Newport Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. He was of that township, Nov. 10, 1790, when, with William Hebard, he bought from Zachariah Hartsouff of Kingston Township and Hanover, two acres of land situated on the main road through Hanover (perhaps Solomon's Creek), "beginning on the westerly line of Lot No.8, First Division of Hanover," together with all privileges to operate stills and potash works and all the utensils, etc. He was of Hanover Township, Aug. 11, 1791, when he bought from Captain Caleb Bates of Pittston, 300 acres of the "Gore" and lying between Exeter, Providence, Pittston and the Lackawanna River, and bounded by the Pittston and Exeter lines and by lands of Constant Searl. He removed to the "Gore" and there spent the remainder of his life. He is referred to in a deed drawn by Dr. William Hoover Smith as Captain Thomas Smith. With his wife, Mary (Green) Smith, born in June, 1736, died Jan. 2, 1810, he is buried in Marcy Cemetery, Duryea, Pennsylvania, his grave being marked by a tombstone, the face of which has flaked off. Two of the children of Thomas and Mary (Green) Smith were their sons, 1, Eliphalet, and 2, Deodat."
