No, Bill, that's Samuel S Smith dob 1791 who married Elizabeth Orser. They are buried in Sleepy Hollow. "My" Samuel Smith is Caleb and Elizabeth Sherwood's grandson, whose father is John Smith. I know very little about John except he married someone named Effie and that both are in my family records. McKenzie has him listed as one of Caleb and Elizabeth's children but with no other info except his name and death date.
