From--A History of Uniontown, James Hadden, 1913, page 318-319.

"Daniel Smith was an occupant of this property for many
years. Mr. Smith carried on an iron store for several years, and
was appointed postmaster to fill out the unexpired term of
William McDonald, May 19, 1843, and served till May 5, 1845.
He was elected burgess of the town in 1847 and in 1853, and
again in 1853. He was elected a justice of the peace in west
ward, 1845, and for several terms thereafter, and some of these
times without opposition. He was one of the most conspicuous
residents of the town, and always presided as a justice of the
peace with the dignity and wisdom of a judge. Esquire Smith
was a leading and active member of the Episcopal church, and
was its organist for many years. He was instrumental in secur-
ing the loan of the bell which called the worshipers together for
many years, as related elsewhere.

Daniel Smith had three sons and two daughters, viz. :
Frank, William, Thomas, Rachel and Elizabeth. Frank was with
William Walker in one of his filibustering expeditions against
Nicaragua. He was captured, but was assisted out of his peril-
ous predicament by the interposition of friends and had nothing
further to do with Walker, who was finally captured and shot,
although he had many adherents to his cause. Frank Smith re-
ceived a commission as lieutenant in the United States navy
at the breaking out of the civil war, and served until its close.

Lieutenant Smith wrote a letter to his father, dated U. S. S.
Pensacola, April 27, 1863, off New Orleans, in which he de-
scribes the shelling of Forts Jackson and St. Philip on the 17th
inst. thus : " I saw the old Star of the West, the ship that took
me to Nicaragua, burn. During the engagement I was in the
engine room, and when one of our engineers, Mr. Huntley, at
the signal bell, was wounded in the head at the third fire, he
was carried below, and I took his place. Here I witnessed the
most fearfully grand sight to be beheld, yet escaped unharmed,
although grape and shell flew over me in the most menacing
manner. Our ship was pierced in divers places, and the rigging somewhat cut, yet we all escaped in this last encounter. On the
35th the squadron anchored in front of the Crescent city. Capt.
Baily, 3nd in command, went ashore to demand the uncondi-
tional surrender of the city. General Lovell, in command, prom-
ised to withdraw all his troops to avoid the shelling of the town,
but could not surrender the city. As soon as we reached New
Orleans we hoisted the stars and stripes on the mint, and at
11 :00 o'clock we were having service on deck to return thanks
to Almighty God for our victory. Before the services were con-
cluded, however, the look-out reported that our flag was down.
A rush was made for the guns, and if primers had been in them
the city certainly would have received a broadside, and, as the
wharves were crowded, great execution would have been done.
As it was, the howitzer in the main-top was fired which served
as a warning, although they did not haul their flag down; and
until the surrender of the city, the commodore would not allow
any other flag to fly."

"William Smith, also, bore a commission in the United States
navy and lost his life in the ill-fated ship. Tulip, November 11,
1864."

"Thomas Smith became a lieutenant-colonel in the United
States army where he served during the late civil war and in
the Cuban war. He died at Portland, Oregon, March 3, 1901."

Rachel Smith was married to Arnold A. Plumer, and Eliza-
beth became the wife of C. H. Beall."
