Florence_(Flora) Smith

Notes:

FLORA SMITH never married. In her younger days she assisted her brothers in the operation of a general store in Berwick, Pa. (See photo on wall in den.) Before the death of her father she returned home to help care for him and to assist in
the raising of her sister Bertha's two daughters. After the death of her mother she lived with her niece, Elizabeth Evans Latham, to assist in the care of her sister Bertha who died first and to help raise Kathy, daughter of Marie Evans Finn.
Flora and Bertha are buried in Hackettstown, N.J. cemetery. Flora lived with James and Hattie many years and had a tremendous influence in the upbringing of Roscoe, Howard and Arthur, all to the good. (Roscoe Smith notes)

Notes:

ISAAC SNOVER SMITH (1835-1919) a cabinet maker and undertaker, retired about age 55. He came to Pleasant Grove, N.J. to help furnish the new Presbyterian Church on Scheeley's Mountain and there met and married Ann Elizabeth Beatty, only child
of James Beatty, Jr. and Sarah Fritts, his first wife. They lived at Pleasant Grove until after their first son, James Edgar Smith (1859-1952) was born when they moved two miles to Stephensburg, N.J. and spent the remainder of their days
there. Other children on this marriage were: Flora who never married; Willard (1865-1938) who married Louise Petty; Bertha who married Floyd Evans; and Kate who married John Park Baldwin. Isaac Snover Smith became an elder of the Presbyterian
Church at Pleasant Grove, where he is buried in a plot adjacent to that of his father-in-law, and after retirement until his death conducted Sunday School afternoons and evening services (Christian Endeavor) each sabbath and Prayer Meeting on
Wednesday evenings in the one-room schoolhouse at Stephensburg. (Roscoe Smith notes, my files)

The Kinney family originated in Holland and first settled near Stroudsburg, Pa. We presently know nothing of them. John W. and Catherine Smith had one son, Isaac Snover Smith (1835-1919) and three daughters: Sarah; Catherine (Mrs. John Kist
- no issue); and Rachael. Sarah and Rachael did not marry. John W. was injured early in his career as a millwright and lived quietly in Kalarama thereafter. (Roscoe Smith notes) (I bet his middle name was Wintermute. LP)

Notes:

Knowlton Prebyterian Churchyard - "Isaac S. Smith d. June 29, 1854, aged 75.11.15; relict Catharine, d. Dec. 5, 1856, aged 74.0.7



All sons were prosperous farmers and lived in the Township except Isaac F. who took over his father's mill property, also acres of land, later selling to Martin Painter and then locating in Kalamazoo, Michigan and buried there. The parents,
also other sons, are buried in Knowlton Church Yard except Joshua who is in the Quaker Cemetery nearby. Sally Ann married Simeon Cooke of Marksboro where she was buried after living past 88 years; she was small, weighed only 84 pounds at time
of her death. (Roscoe Smith notes)



"Copied from notes of James Edgar Smith" - "Isaac Smith, Sr., a millwright, after marriage to Rachel Wintermute, settled in Blairstown Township, N.J., buying a farm, also erecting a grist mill, the little settlement being named Smith's Mills,
later Painter's Mills, then Kalarama."

"Wintermute Family History" by J.B. Wintermute, 1900 - date of birth July 14, 1778.



"History of Sussex & Warren Counties" pub. 1881, compiled by James P. Snell, p. 640 - "Blairstown....The exact date of its settlement by civilized man will probably never be known, but there can be no doubt about its being among the earlier
settlements within the limits of Warren County. The original name of the place, so far as we have been able to learn, was "Smith's Mills." Many years before the Revolutionary war a man of that familar name-Smith-had a large grist mill and a
saw-mill on the grounds now belonging to Hon. John I. Blair." (Not this Isaac Smith) P. 653 - "The next grist-mill in this township was built by Isaac Smith in 1831-32, now owned by the heirs of Martin Painter, and know as 'Painter's Mills,"
and located south of Walnut Valley Post Office."

Isaac married Catharine Wintermute. Catharine (daughter of Johannes\John Windemuth and Anna Margaretha Couse) was born on 28 Nov 1782 in Old Stone House, Stillwater, New Jersey; died on 4 Dec 1856 in Blairstown, Warren, NJ; was buried in Knowlton Presbyterian Churchyard.

Notes:

Christened: 9 Apr 1783

Residence: Kalorama farm

Notes:

The Snover information lists Frederick as being born in April 1767 in Walnut Valley, Knowlton, Warren, NJ. The Snover information is probably the correct version.



"Copied from notes of James Edgar Smith" - "The Kinney family originated in Holland and on coming to America settled at or near Stroudsburg, Pa. Have little knowledge of their history."



"Penna. German Marriages" compiled by Donna R. Irish, Gen Pub. Co. 1982 p.40 - Children baptized at Six Mile Run on the Raritaens. Parents Pieter Kinne & Eytye (Ida) Williamse, ch. Lenae bp 8 Apr 1711 at Six Mile Run. There are several other
Kinnes listed. These must be Dutch Kinneys and I don't think are connected (lp)
