Phineas Smith, the second son of Phineas and Deborah Ann (Judson) Smith, of Roxbury, Connecticut, was born on November 19, 1793. A brother was graduated in 1815.
Soon after graduation [class of 1816] he began the study of law with his uncle, the Hon. Nathan Smith, of New Haven, afterwards Senator of the United States. He was admitted to the bar in the spring of 1819, and after a few months in his uncle's office he removed to Arlington, in southwestern Vermont, where he established himself in his profession, and rapidly acquired an extensive practice.
He married, on June 30, 1824, Harriet, eldest daughter of Joshua Judson, of Arlington, who died, without children, on November 3, 1826.
He next married, on June 25, 1833, Jane, second daughter of Sylvanus J. Penniman, of Albany, who survived him.
About 1835 he removed to Rutland, where he acquired a new circle of clients, while retaining the old. But in February, 1839, he was attacked with hemorrhages of the lungs, and his death followed, on April 19, in his 46th year.
A son and a daughter survived him, another son having died in infancy. (from "Biographical Notices of Yale College" by Franklin Bowditch Dexter; pub. 1913, no publisher given)
