Thomas Smith ... "Rev Thomas Smith, Jr., one of their sons, after graduating in two colleges, Georgetown, Kentucky, and Princeton, became a Baptist preacher of great power and popularity, at a remarkably early age. He united the two Baptist factions in Louisville, and became their pastor, and founded the present Walnut Street Baptist Church of that city; and after these great initiatory steps of his life, his health failing, he went on a trip to Texas, but died March 6, 1851, in his twenty-third year, at New Orleans, on his way home.
