Notes:

Thomas Smart was a farmer living on a farm near Brechin in Forfarshire, Scotland. The name of his farm was "Hunt Hill". Thomas Smart raised a family of five, Alexander "Sandy", John, William, and two daughters. I do not know the name of his wife. Thomas Smart unwisely endorsed papers for his friends in Scotland which resulted in his financial ruin. His wife died and he emigrated to Canada to the township of Ramsay one mile south of the town of Almonte on the Mississippi River. In 1821 he married Lois Buell. There were one girl and three boys born to this second marriage. One son was Bemesley Buell Smart. Thomas Smart and his wife, Lois Buell are both buried in the Canada Pioneer Methodist Cemetry near Almonte. It is nearly the next lot to Thomas Smart's homestead.
