Moses R. Smith, son of Presley William Smith,

Moses R. Smith, son of Presley William Smith, lived in Madisonville, Kentucky, at least in the latter years of his life.  It is believed that he was still living in 1961. 

Presley William Smith, son of Aaron Fairfax Smith

Presley William Smith (son of Aaron Fairfax and Judith Smith), born 1823 or 1824; married Mary Ann Morton, born 1836 or 1837, daughter of Thomas Ross Morton and Nancy Elizabeth Rhodes, who were married December 9, 1833.  Nancy Elizabeth was the daughter of David Rhodes and granddaughter of Henry Rhodes (or Rhoads), who was of German birth and was a Revolutionary Soldier.

Presley William and Mary Ann Smith's children in 1880 were:

Nancy J.,                   b. 1867 or 1868

Thomas A.,                b. 1870 or 1871

Moses R.,                  b. 1871 or 1872

Presley W.,                b. 1873 or 1874

Elizabeth E.,               b. 1874 or 1875

Samuel T.,                 b. 1877 or 1878*

Bessie,                       m.                   Williams

Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Aaron Fairfax Smith

Elizabeth Smith (daughter of Aaron Fairfax and Judith Smith) was born December 17, 1820; died March 9,1898.  She married John U (or Q.) Wood on November 19, 1846. He was born January 19, 1820; died October 12,1856.  Both are buried in the Hazel Creek Baptist Church cemetery in Muhlenberg County. 

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. 

Eudoxy Smith, daughter of Aaron Fairfax Smith

Eudoxy (or Eudoxie) (daughter of Aaron Fairfax and Judith Smith) married Alney M. Robinson on September 10,1837.  Very likely this man's name was "Robertson" instead of "Robinson." 

In 1825-26 and again in 1827-28, Rachel Robertson Smith, wife of James Simpson Smith, was the guardian of Alney Robertson.  The 1850 census of Muhlenberg County includes Laura Robertson, age 11, and Aaron Robertson, age 10, in the household of Aaron F. Smith, who would have been their grandfather.  

One might assume that Eudoxie and Alney Robertson were not living in 1850.  Laura Robertson, age 22, was living with her uncles Presley and Moses Smith, and her Aunt Lucinda Smith (all children of Aaron Fairfax Smith) in 1860.  It appears that they maintained a residence separate from their parents. 

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);

Mary E., born 1866; m. P. Humphrey on December 21,1881, and was said to have been one of the most progressive women in the town of Paradise.

Leonard W., born 1868, One Leonard Smith married Iona Widick on November 24,1892.

Erasmus M., born 1870 or 1871; E. M. Smith married Susan Creager on March 8, 1893.

Annie D., born 1872 or 1873

Fannie, born 1875 or 1876

Laura I., born 1879 

Leonard Smith, son of Aaron Fairfax Smith

Leonard Smith, son of Aaron Fairfax Smith, born in Kentucky in 1813 or 1814; married Elizabeth Yonts on May 24, 1838.  The Yonts family came from North Carolina about 1812 and "settled near the home of Eli Smith, who was a kinsman of Elias" G. Smith, according to Rothert.  

Leonard Smith died before 1880 and in that year his widow, Elizabeth, was living in the home of William H. Smith, who was probably their only child.
