I was browsing through some of the threads when I read yours regarding Peter Smart. According to my aunts' research, my great,great,great,great grandfather, Sir Peter Smart was born in England. The Smart family lived in North Umberlandshire(?) near the Scottish border. Peter was barred from royalty because he married a commoner, Mary Cavett. Peter, his wife, and his brother John came to America. There is conflicting information as to where they settled.Some say Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, or Tennessee. I have listed four children born to them: Elitia, Harry, William and Elisha (my great, great, great grandfather. I would love to hear from you and exchange further information.

Grasping at straws here....but I have a John Smart in Pennsylvania. He married there in 1811? By 1860 he was in Missouri. I found him in both 1860 and 1870 census in Missouri. I've sure hit a brick wall as to where he came from prior to Penn. or when, or who he belonged to. You didn't list any time frame for your people? ::crossing fingers:: ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [SMART] Sir Peter Smart > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: mclt1 > Surnames: Smart > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.smart/985.1.1.4/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I'm new to this, but with the help of a couple of great aunts, I have been > given a good deal of information regarding the Smart branch of my family. > I was browsing through some of the threads when I read yours regarding > Peter Smart.
