Lois and Benjamin had 12 children altogether, all born in Bethel. Lois's brother Ithama Chase was the father of Salmon P. Chase, who held many public offices. The last and most prestigious was as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, appointed by Abraham Lincoln.
Lois and Benjamin's 8th child, Ransford Smith, after serving in the War of 1812, moved with brother Addison to Kentucky. I descend from Ransford and 2nd wife Catherine Graves Howard's 5th of 9 children, Tryon Yancy Smith. See his grave in Princeton's Cedar Hill Cemetery.
