THOMAS SMOOT, a native of Owen County, Ky., was born on February 28, 1822,
to William R. and Fanny (Clark) Smoot, natives of Virginia.  His father
came from Virginia in 1796, settled in Owen County, always followed
farming, and was known as a good and upright citizen.  His grandfather,
Thomas Smoot, also came to Kentucky in 1796, and here died.  Our subject
was educated at the common schools, and has always followed the pursuits
of the farm, in which he has been very successful, owning 205 acres of
improved land in one tract in Henry County and 292 acres along the river.
In 1845 he was united in marriage with Mary Kelly, daughter of William
Kelly and Vianna (Moore) Kelly, both of Henry County.  Five children were
born to this union, named as follows: Vianna, William, Elbert, Mary and
Edmond.  Mrs. Smoot died in 1861, and in 1867 our subject was united in
marriage with Mrs. Lucy Jones, widow of Dr. F. Jones, of Shelby County.
To this last marriage six children were born, Letitia, Nancy, Mattie,
Reuben, George and Sallie.  Mr. Smoot is a Democrat.
