The Smith family is interesting in that there is very little recent immigration compared to other families. Most of the ancesters were in the “New World” in the 17th century, either in New France or the English colonies. Many of their children would later become the revolutionaries that set our country up for battle against England.
A number of relatives were soldiers in the US revolution including:
- Captain Adams Bailey
- Private Seth Bailey
- Captain Jacob Packard
- Lieutenant Seth Mann Sr.
- Seth Mann Jr.
- Lieutenant Nathan Putnam
- Private Stephen Fuller
