<<I too am interested in the Smith Family. John Sr. and Jr., Lewis, Levi, Enoch, Riley, Washington, Thomas, William, Peter and Jackson. Also, Justus Heck, William Hess , Jesse Fetty and Thaddeus Arnett. Thank you, Sherry Ray, Kent, Washington>> There was a corporal Lewis Smith in Capt. James Hurry's Militia Company, raised in Monongalia and Brooke Counties and serving from May to August 1814. There were also privates George Smith and George B. Smith. Youst Heck (possibly the Justus Heck mentioned above) was one of the Revolutionary War veterans living in Monongalia County who received a pension under the congressional act of 18 March 1818. Have you checked to see if you can find his pension application? These usually have interesting information. There are so many William Smiths, I don't know how you'd tell if this entry is yours: "William Smith is entitled to four hundred acres of land in Monongalia County on Indian Creek adjoining lands of James Holylaw in right of residence to include his improvement made in the year 1774. Monongalia County." A William Smith also patented land on Lost Creek at Kings Luck, which is now in Harrison County. A William Smith and Augustus Smith, apparently related, patented land on Robinson's Run in what is now the Clay Dist. of Monongalia County. A William Smith traded with Indians in the area when it was still wilderness. Lot no. 37 in Morgantown was conveyed by Zaquill Morgan to William Augustus Smith on 14 November 1785; this is where the tavern was located. A plat map shows that this was on the corner of High St. and Walnut Street. A John A. Smith was a private in Capt. Wiiloughby Morgan's Militia Company in 1814. Brian Brian D. Core P.O.
