Jesse Smith, the Revolutionary Soldier, was born in North Carolina in 1751 and died in Horry County, South Carolina in 1826; he is believed to be originally from Scotland. His wife , Mary Bellamy, was born in 1755 and died in Horry County in 1849; she was a daughter of John & Elizabeth Bellamy. Jesse and Mary had the following children: Elizabeth Smith who married John Patterson; Sarah Smith who married John Reaves; John Washington Smith who married Sarah C.; Jesse Smith, Jr. who also married and had several children, but I was unable to find further information on him; William Smith, who also married, but no further information available; and Richard B. Smith who married Martha D. and had six children. The descendents of our "first Jesse" number in the hundreds, and I shall continue working on this genealogy. I would certainly appreciate any help or information concerning this family and related families.

The author of the narrative (with more information), written in 1976 was Ms. Janet H. Woodward.
