Lucinda Smith, daughter of Aaron Fairfax Smith

Lucinda Smith (daughter of Aaron Fairfax and Judith Smith) was likely born in 1819. She died in 1884.  Lucinda did not marry.  She lived with her parents during their lifetime and in 1880 her home was with her brother Presley William Smith.  Her will, found in Book 4, page 63, is dated June 10, 1884, and states that on November 17, 1883, in consideration of four notes (three for $100 and one for $114) she entered into contract with W. H. Smith (wife Isadora) to keep her for her natural life.  The above contract, it states, was carried out to the satisfaction of all.  Her death must have been shortly after June 10,1884. 

William H. Smith, son of Leonard Smith

William H. (Billy) Smith, son of Leonard Smith, was born September 30, 1841, near Paradise.  He served in Company I (Eye), 11^th Kentucky Infantry (Federal), during the Civil War.  (See  Rothert,    p. 336.)  Rothert states that Smith's farm on Green River, below Airdie, was one of the best preserved old farms in the country.  Few men were better known along Green River than "Billy” Smith.  It was his custom to hold semi-annual reunions of Civil War veterans.  The one in May 1912 was attended by one Confederate and fourteen Federal soldiers.  (See photo on page 283 of Rothert.)

One of "Billy" Smith's neighbors was General Don Carlos Buell, under whom he fought during the early part of the Civil War and for whom his youngest son, Don Carlos R., was named.

William H. Smith married Isadora Mason (born in Indiana in 1844 or 1845) on February 12, 1865, at the home of P. Smith.  In 1880, their family consisted of these children (Don Carlos R. evidently did not arrive until after that year);
