Notes

We have been unable to learn much about our ancestor Thomas Smart. We
think
he was born in Tennessee ca 1812/13. Through oral family history he and
his sister,
Elizabeth came to Arkansas to care for the minor children of his deceased
brother,
William Smart.

NOTE: Census records of 1850 show Thomas was born in Alabama and
Elizabeth in Tennessee.

After arriving in Clark County in 1848, Thomas Smart, William's brother,
married Rachel Crow on 14 December 1848. William's sister, Elizabeth
Smart,
married Rachel Crow's brother, William Crow, on 12 October, 1848. Both
rites
of matrimony were performed by the Crow siblings' brother-in-law, Abraham
L.
Weir, a Methodist Episcopal Church South minister, and the husband of
their
sister, Amanda Crow Weir. Amanda, Rachel, and William Crow's parents were
Walter Crow and Margaret Hutchinson Crow of Okonona.

Thomas and Rachel Smart, in addition to being responsible for his
brother's
children, raised a large family of their own. Their children were:
William
Grover, Margaret Euphrates; Sarah Elizabeth; Mary Ellen; John Hampton;
Talith
Ann; Amanda Paralee; Thomas and Rachel Alice (twins); James Hamilton; and
Harriet Alabama "Bama".

Thomas was a farmer in Clark County from 1848 until his death. His
daughter
Rachel Alice told how he made the family cross the street in Gurdon to
avoid walking
past some painted ladies, and each night after the dishes were done,
the family gathered
to listen to readings from the Bible. Indians would peek from behind
trees at the family
as they performed their chores.
