Thomas Smith... His father,Nicholas Smith, emigrated from Virginia, and settled five miles south-east of the pesent town of New Castle, Henry County, Kentucky. At that time the whole territory belonged to Virginia, and was a vast unbroken wilderness; and the few whites who ventured so far beyond the limit of safety were compelled to live in forts rudely constructed; and in one of these, Nicholas and Jacob Smith took up their residence, and with their families, for many years underwent the dangers and privation of pioneer life. He and his brother Jacob took out a letters patent on 1400 acres of land, 500 of which fell to Nicholas; and upon this he finally settled, and there lived and died; and there raised a family of eight sons and three daughters, who all married before his death, excepting one son, who died after reaching manhood. After his death, this tract of land fell to his son Thomas, the subject of this sketch, by purchase from the other heirs, and passed to his children after his decease. A singular fact connected with this tract of land was, that the patent was obtained from the State of Virginia, it then being part of that State, it having consequently been in two States; and in the forming and changing of new counties, it has been at different paeriods situated in four counties. Nicholas Smith married Mary Jones, a woman of great natural endowments, and eminently fit to become one of the pioneer mothers of the State. These worthy people both lived to a great age, and died and were buried on the original homestead in Henry County. Of their large family of children, but one, Stephen Smith, of Missouri, is now living, yet a vast number of their descendants are spread over the country.
