Yes David I see 'Letty' Smith born abt 1794 and died 16 Aug 1869 Half Hollow Hills. Herbert Furman Seversmith refers to her as Alletta Smith and says she was born near Argyle Park which is the Babylon. No one seems to have a line on "Letty's" parents. She not in the Richard Smith of Smithtown book or part of the Arthur 'The Quaker' Smith line so she must be part of some of the numerous other Smith lines. I'm sure you must have asked Ned this question before. I think we have not solved Michael's Smith connection yet.
