UPDATE
As a result of efforts of 4G-grandson of Archibald(Heath Smith), we believe that Archi's line has been located. Heath submitted DNA sampling to official Smith research site. Report back showed one 100% DNA match. As a result of that match, Heath made contact and the research that he had done on his line was shared. The report was mostly about Charles' line, but at the end he also compiled what he learned along the way for Samuel(s) et al.
This report concludes ancestors to be:
Archibald > Samuel(1750-1793)> Samuel(1726-1785)> William (1690-1743)
In the note section below, I have posted (with permission and by request) Heath's direct line names.

Documentation has now been found for what we believe to be earlier years of Archibald's life. Archibald was son of Samuel Smith and Mary Ruddle (vs Riddle as had been earlier thought). Birth year was most likely 1792. This date is shown in US and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900 on Ancestry; land grant lists his age as 57 on Dec. 25, 1850; and on 1850 Census record his age is listed as 58.
In the Library of VA Archives list of War of 1812 Pay Rolls and Muster Rolls in the Electronic Card Indexes, Card #23 PR138 there is Archibald Smith.
Archibald Smith was captured by the Indians in the War of 1812 and traded to the British at Detroit with his brother Samuel.
Archibald married Hannah Ashcraft in Muskingum, Ohio in 1813. Family was enumerated in Coshocton County, Ohio in 1830. History of Delaware County, Indiana, Hamilton Township records that in 1834 "..Daniel Smith and Archibald Smith purchased lands in Section 14".
Archibald and sons/families were among the earliest settlers in Livingston/Grundy Counties, Missouri.
In 1839 Archibald and family members located claims in Mercer County.
He left a will dated "the Eighteenth day of July in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty-seven"
Attested by: William J. Parsons and Welcome A. Parsons, October 24, 1857
