Sullivan County, Tenn., born March 1, 1818. He married Miss Virginia

leaving eight children - four sons and four daughters - of whom five are
yet living, George W. being the eldest survivor; after him follow Sarah

A. Smith has followed farming during most of his life, in connection
with which he worked at the blacksmith's trade; he is a resident of
Barren County; his age about sixty-seven years; he is hale and stout and
seems to have lost but little of the vigor of former years.  He is a son
of Calvin Smith, of North Carolina, who was of Welsh extraction, and was
married to a Miss Allen, a distant relative of Col. Ethan Allen, of
Revolutionary fame. Calvin Smith's father was a veteran of the war of
1776, and held the rank of captain.  James Hawley, the father of Mrs.
Charles A. Smith, was of French descent and belongs to one of the highly
respected families of Virginia.  George W. Smith was reared on a farm
and received a good common school education.  In 1861 he enlisted in
Company E, Ninth Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, federal, and served until
December, 1864, rising to the rank of sergeant; he was engaged in the
battles of Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge,
Dalton, Kenesaw, Lost Mountain, Resaca, Atlanta and Jonesboro.  After he
returned home, with the small capital of $600 he began farming, and
through industry and perseverance, he is now the proprietor of 230 acres
of good land.  His farm is in good condition, well kept and improved,
with good buildings and orchard of 1,500 trees.  He was married, on the
8th of November, 1866, to Miss Julia Harrison, of Barren County. To this
union have been born eleven children:  Anna D., Martha R., Charles S.,
Horace G., Lula, Reuben, Daisy, Garfield, Arthur, Mary P. and Ora.  Mr.
