Dear Joanne, A genealogist in the Rowan History Room traced our Margaret Smith (1806-1895Rowan), but only in a limited way. Her father was John Smith (1780-1812), who in 1804 married Polly Bryan (1784-1843)--at his death, Polly remarried Jacob Weant and nothing further known. Margaret Smith married Isaac Earnhart (1807?-1846Rowan), and their child was Caroline E. Earnhart, my gggrandmother (1838-1908), who married William M. Wilson (1821-1864), then a B. J. Burgess, shoemaker in Rowan Co., NC. The father of John Smith was Peter Smith Jr. and his father was Peter Schmidt Sr. We were given no dates or wives on the two Peters, but assume they were the Schmidts of Rowan County, who may or may not have been affiliated with the Moravian Schmidts (George Schmidt). I just thought I would drop this note to you as we may later find a tie. If your Peter Smith (or Schmidt) died in 1767, that would make him possibly the Peter Schmidt Sr. that the Rowan genealogist told us about.
