Notes:

Thomas Smith, eldest son of Robert and Phebe, became the owner of the homestead farm under the will of his father. An apple tree of natural fruit grew up wild near a fence in one of his fields. The tree proved to be a prolific bearer, and developing apples of superior quality for eating and cider, became well known in the neighborhood, and was kept closely trimmed of scions for grafting. The same apple, which has been brought down by successive grafting, is the well known Smith cider apple of today." (from "The Genealogy of Robert Smith" by Josiah B. Smith, 1885).
