Samuel Smith was born in New York to Ebenezer Smith and Jane Claghorn. His parents were both born in Massachusetts.   In 1791 he married Jane Stephens.  They became the parents of at least two children.  The oldest, Mary, is our direct ancestor. She married James Newberry.  Samuel owned a curry and tannery shop in Warwick, New York and a farm named Fair Acres which had on its ground a small cemetery.    Samuel was buried on his farm at the young age of forty-one.
