• Notes

  James went to Irwin Co., GA, in 1828. After marrying, James & Lodoiska moved to Thomasville, GA, "where he was a postmaster and junior partner in a mercantile firm with his father, whom he . . . had come with from Pawtucket [Pawtuxet] to the South, and a Col. E. Remington. The business was known as Simon Smith Jr. and Sons." (source: obit, reprinted in the Magnolia Monthly, Jan 1964) The family moved to Flordia about 1848. James W. Smith was a Representative in the Florida Legislature from 1850 to 1860. His gravestone contains this inscription: I've safely passed the billows' roar Upon life's stormy sea And here upon the shining shore I'm waiting now for thee.
