Henry Woody Smith was the sixth child of Thomas and Ferby Tackett Smith.
See the "Thomas and Ferby Tackett Smith Story" in my
'Kinfolks Stories' on my website.
(6)HENRY WOODY SMITH born 12Mar1836 Carroll County, Arkansas.
He served in Confederate Army (conscripted)during Civil War,
Co. I, 22 (35th)Arkansas Infantry.
Henry married (1)MARIAH BRASSFIELD, born 1835 in Missouri.
They lived Pope County, Arkansas in 1860
While he was in Service, his wife and two children died.
Henry enlisted (or was conscripted?)into the Confederate Army during
the War between the States, on 20June1862 at the age of 26 at Dover,
Pope County, Arkansas. His regiment was Company I, King's Regiment,
35th Confederate. Northwest Division, Trans-Mississippi District and
sometimes called Rector's Arkansas Infantry or 22nd Regiment Arkansas
Infantry.
Henry was left by his regiment at Little Rock, Arkansas on
10 Sept 1863 because he was sick. He was described as 5feet 9 inches
tall, light hair, gray eyes with light complexion and a native of
Arkansas who was a farmer.
He was captured by Union forces in September 1863 and sent to Alton,
Illinois Union Prison.He was transferred to Rock Island, Illinois on
7 December 1864 still as a prisoner of war. On 17 Jan 1865 he was
transferred to Maj. Gen Canby, Commanding West Division of the
Mississippi for exchange. He was exchanged 4March1865 at New Orleans,
Louisiana, then transferred from New Orleans, Louisiana and was
exchanged at Red River Landing, Louisiana on 4 March 1865 by
Col. C.C. Dwight, Commissioner of Exchange, under the cartel of
28 July 1864. He was "paroled" from the Confederate Army at Marshall,
Texas July or August 1865.
Henry applied for the Arkansas State Confederate pension and was
granted $100 pension in 1912 due to cataracts of both eyes and
rheumatism, Pension No. 8359.
His wife MARIAH BRASSFIELD SMITH and their two small children died
while he was in the Confederate Army. They were living at Geisville,
Pope County, Arkansas in August 1860, so that is probably where she
and the children died.
They were on the 1860 Pope County, Arkansas census but had no
children then.
Began searching for THOMAS and FEBARY TACKETT SMITH after I sent for
their son Henry Woody Smith's Confederate Civil War Record
(Henry Smith was my husband's maternal great-grandfather .
Found that JOHN and REBECCA SMITH (grandparents of Henry),lived at
one time in Jackson County, Alabama. So many kinfolks hailed from
Jackson County, Alabama who ended up in Newton County, Arkansas area.
They used the same family names in all their childrens names.
The 1830 Jackson County, Alabama census at LDS Family History Center,
Film No. 2,328 listed three John Smiths. Did not check any other
Alabama counties. Madison County, Alabama is another possiblity I
need to check out.
This family IS NOT related to Jeremiah and Margaret Armstrong-Byrd
Smith family that I am aware of.
1830 Jackson County, Alabama census:

ARKANSAS PENSIONERS BOOK
SMITH, John...Old war pension application. O.W.Widows.Cert.#1717,
file @11475. Served as Captain in Alabama Volunteers, Florida
Seminole Indian War, Widow, Rebecca.(not abstracted in book)
DO NOT KNOW if this is our John and Rebecca Smith.
Alabama Pension Rolls of 1835 had one JOHN SMITH, from Anson County,
North Carolina, 1778, 5yr, Pvt, Capt Parsons; Col Chiles;
General Wayne.Born 15Mar1763 Anson County, North Carolina
Enlisted April 1778 for 5 years.
To Hillsboro to receive discharge.
Lived in Anson, North Carolina to 1783.
Around 1803 to Georgia
Georgia to Tennessee about 1811
Tennessee til about 1832
1832 to Alabama (Jackson and Madison Counties)
Applied for pension 1833 in Madison County,Alabama at Brownsboro
DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS THE CORRECT JOHN SMITH, but is as close as I
can come at the present time.
Also while researching in the LDS Family History Center, ran across
the Fische No. 6,019,335, The 1911 Arkansas Confederate Soldiers
Census record. Not every Arkansas county is represented. But I was
in luck as Henry Smith had filled out the questionaire and "lo and
behold", there was the clue I needed on his parents.
The original copy of this record is at the Arkansas History
Commission in Little Rock, Arkansas. Would like to read it so I could
check the spelling of the Tackett's names listed on film.
Believe instead of LANGSTON TACKETT (as noted), it should read
LEWIS TACKETT.
Perhaps the person transcribing the film thought the name was
Langston when it really was Lewis Tackett??
MARY POLLY BASHAM was the wife of Lewis (Langston)Tackett.
The Tackett Association did not agree that there was a Feraby (Phoebe)
Tackett from the Lewis Tackett Family. But they did acknowledge
Martin Tackett in the Association. And Martin Tackett was Feraby
(Pheobe)Tackett Smith's brother. She even named two of her sons
Pleasant Smith (after Pleasant Tackett) and Martin Tackett Smith
(after her brother Martin Tackett).
What I need to do is send the original film copy of Henry W Smith's
Confederate Service Record to the Tackett Association, which I have
not as yet done.
Since getting a copy of this record, recently purchased the set of
three books,"Arkansas 1911 Census of Confederate Veterans" and the
books showed an exact copy of Henry Smith's 1911 CSA entry as it
appeared on the LDS Fische 6,019,335.
1830 Alabama Index showed a THOMAS SMITH in Jackson County, Alabama,
page 324 of the Alabama Index found in the Mid-Continent Library,
Independence, Missouri by myself.

Henry married (2) BARBARA ALLEN PIERCE HOUSE ca1867 in Newton County,
Arkansas. Barbara was the daughter of John Lindsey Pierce Sr. and
Mary Polly Burdine.
Barbara first married a Mr.HOUSE. Her husband and two children died
during the Civil War time.
Would anyone know the name of her first husband??
(See the "John L & Mary Polly Burdine Pierce Story" on my website for details.)
Henry had sons:
John Henry, Thomas Martin,James Calvin, J.P.(James Pleasant?),
William E Smith and Grover Cleveland Smith.
(Notice how they followed the naming pattern all throughout their
brothers children, and their sons followed these same naming
patterns).
Henry also had daughters Martha Isabelle, Febary Ann, and
Mary Louvina Smith.
He was also father of Fanny Leoma Smith Peoples from a relationship
with MELVINA PIERCE TENNISON.
Barbara Allen Pierce House Smith raised Fanny Smith right along with
her own children.
BARBARA ALLEN PIERCE,born ll August l843 in Arkansas.
I believe she was named for the old folk song "Barbara Allen".
If you have not heard this song, try to listen to it.
Really a nice old folk song. That is the song that is playing while
you are reading this story.
Barbara married:
(l) Mr. HOUSE ca l860 and they had two children who died during
Civil War Time. Do not know his first name.
So many little children died during the Civil War time; many of
starvation.
I have not been able to find her on the 1860 census in Arkansas as
yet when she was married to Mr. HOUSE.
Barbara and Henry Smith are my husband's maternal great grandparents.
Henry Woody Smith and Barbara's children were:
i: JOHN HENRY SMITH who married NANCY ANN MACKEY on
29 Dec 1885 in Newton County. Nancy was the daughter of
Henderson P. Mackey and Nancy J. Milligan Mackey Brassfield.
Nancy Ann was born 23Sept1870 in Searcy County, Arkansas. Her father
Henderson P Mackey served in Co. E, First Arkansas Cavalry (Union)
during Civil War from 2July1862 to August 1865 and was wounded at
Fitzgerald Mountain, Arkansas. He was in the Army Hospital at
Cassville, Missouri in September and October of 1863. He later died
at home in Searcy County,Arkansas.
After Henderson Mackey died, his widow Nancy J. Milligan Mackey
married ABNER S. BRASSFIELD, son of Abner Jr. and Malissa Smith
Brassfield.

Children:
1)JAY FRANK SMITH, born 25Mar1907. He married OBIE FLOOD on 6Nov1927
(page 47)in Newton County, Arkansas. Obie Flood was the daughter of
Simon David Flud and Hester Hosannie Ricketts.
He took his first plane ride in 1934 at Claremore, Oklahoma with his
daughter Arvilla riding on his lap. Jay caught "flying fever".
It was the days of the barnstormers, the days of the pioneers in
aviation; the days when exciting new records were being set and Jay
Smith wanted to be part of it.
It was 1943 before Jay was able to start taking flying lessons from
J.D. Ham and then he had to fight the Department of Commerce for the
right to do it. You see, Jay had only one eye, having lost an eye in
a sawmill accident.
Jay had to battle for the right to fly, then he had to take a medical
check ride at each step of the learning process.
That was about the time Wiley Post and Will Rogers died in a plane
crash in Alaska and the blame was put on the fact that Wiley Post,
the pilot,had ony one eye, so a new regulation was passed that pilots
must have good vision in both eyes.
Jay was 38 years old and when he went up in a plane for the second
time on the Fourth of July 1945.
He opened the Piercetown Airport with two runways and a GI school.
Two years later he also opened the Boone County Airport.
Flying in those early days of the airport was fun according to Jay.
The first radios were on low frequency so you could always holler
out and tell sometone to shine a light on the landing field as you
flew over the house.
He taught more students than he could count, including a lot of GIs
who took their training at Piercetown and Harrison. As a Second
Lieutenant in the Civil War Patrol he trained several teenage boys
which the FFA eventually ruled were too young to fly.
In addition to the flight school and charter service (operating 13
planes), he worked for the State Forestry Department for 15 years and
the Department of Agriculture, taking on jobs like flying fire
patrols and spotting a timber disease called oak wilt.
Friends claim he "came closest to flying like a buzzard".
Jay had his close calls. He crashed three times, incapacitating all
three planes but walking away without a scratch. One of these crashes
happened when he landed on an old wild sow and her pigs nested on an
unlit runway at night. The plane turned over but he escaped through
a window.
His first plane was an orange and white Champion 7AC.
Jay was always mechanically inclined. He had the only telephone in
the county for years, hooking his own ground line mostly pieced
together with bailing wire.
He had the first bulldozer in this area in the late 1930s and used
it to make log roads and dig stock ponds.
He also had a sawmill business. Jay also had a crop dusting service.
A black marble historical marker was set at the site of the
Piercetown Airport. It stands on the edge of Highway 74 near the
little building that was once the airport office.
Jay's son Dorvin Smith was a commercial pilot who was killed in a
plane crash over Broken Bow, Oklahoma when lightening struck the
plane, killing all aboard. Jay has several grandsons who are
commercial pilots.
Jay Frank Smith, 83, of Harrison, died Tuesday, January 1, 1991 at
his home.
He was born March 25, 1907 at Vendor, the son of Cleve and
Lula Hamilton Smith. He had been a resident of Boone County for
41 years.
He opened the first airport in the area at Piercetown in 1946 and in
1948 he started the Boone County Airport. He closed the Piercetown
operation in 1951, but continued as administrative manager for the
Boone County Airport until 1974, after which he operated a charter
service until 1983. He worked for 15 years as a pilot with the State
Forestry Department and the Department of Agriculture. During his
years of administration of the two airports,he also trained military
pilots.
He is survived by his wife, Obie Smith of Harrison; two sons,
Charles Smith of Kansas City,Missouri and Leon Smith of Harrison;
four daughters, Arvilla Blackwood of Harrison, Ruth Poyner of
Berryville, Evelyn Shaddox of Kansas City, Missouri and
Lou Ann Cox of Omaha; three brothers, Jimmy Smith of Stockton,
