  • Notes 
    • Daniel Smith, son of David and Mary Smith, was born in 1784, in Litchfield, Connecticut. Daniel married Mary Mansfield. Mary was born in 1787 in Vermont or Massachusetts. Daniel was a soldier in the War of 1812. Amos Mansfield, Mary?s brother, was a caption in the War of 1812 and served at the battle of Plattsburg. Daniel came to Fort Covington, New York and settled on farmland in Bombay near Brasher Iron Works. This was before Bombay separated from Fort Covington. Daniel was a farmer his whole life.

      Why Daniel moved to Franklin county New York is unknown. In bygone years a State Senator once stigmatized the county of Franklin as "the Siberia of New York," thereby showing the same lack of knowledge concerning this district that so delayed its settlement. So unfavorably was this section regarded, that when the State set aside thousands of acres for the Revolutionary soldiers, still called "The Old Military Tract," not one acre was taken up.

      Daniel died in 1868, in Bombay New York, aged 84. Daniel and Mary are buried in Brasher Iron Works Cemetery, Brasher, New York.

      Daniel and Mary had eleven children Sanford, Jan Ann, Martha, Nancy, Ursula, Polly, Mary, Diadama, Daniel, William, Robert and Henry Smith.
