Thomas Washington Smith

Additional Curator's Note: Thomas Smith is such a common pairing of names in the English-speaking world. I have recently had to correct several incorrect merges on this profile. To help prevent such problems in the future, I have moved his middle name to the first name field. Maria Edmonds-Zediker, curator, 24 May 2011.

Exchanged some Navajo blankets, lassos, handkerchiefs, and (etc) for 300 grape roots and a few varieties of other choice shrubs and seeds from Brother Thomas Smith and Allen Smithson, and returned.

And as soon as their grain was in, to put in all the time they could towards building a fort to store their grain in. And if necessity required, to run in for protection. And suggested the Peter Shirts and Miller Fort be enlarged as it would be saving of labor and etc... I agreed with Brother Thomas Smith to put me up a small mill in the fall to grind corn... Monday 16 Dec 1872, "About midnight uncle Tommy Smith arrived with the gunnels for a ferry boat and 1600 feet of lumber for me. Tuesday 17 Dec 1872, "Uncle Tommy set in to help me get a couple of rooms of my house covered in to shelter my family from the storm. He also let me have his oxen to haul rock at (1 dollar) per day, and he at $3 per day. And then I was to go with him to the Dell and help put in the boat. Thursday 26 Dec 1872, "As we were preparing to start for the Dell we discovered an Indian messenger bending his way for the ranch. Had with him a yoke of cattle that I bought of Brother Thomas Smith at $125. I let him have a Kentucky Roan bull and cow & 9 month-old calf at $130. Sunday 29 Dec 1872, "After a short deliberation, uncle Tommy Smith concluded to return home by way of the trail and look after his corn crop, lest it would get destroyed by rain... I also let him have a horse for his son to ride home. They were to be back on the Sunday following. Sunday 12 Jan 1873, "I was burning coal, hooping barrels and doing chores and etc. Evening Brother Tommy Smith, Roberts and George his sons, and James Jackson returned bringing me 70 lbs of seed wheat, 30 lbs dried peaches and apples and some grapes, molasses, wine and etc. The following day uncle Tommy and I crossed the Colorado River and explored the country for a road. Found it practible with a cost of $2000, a better point for crossing, leaving the travel by the settlement and a much safer place for the boats. Friday evening 10 Jan 1873, "We succeeded in framing, flooring, corking and pitching the boat, intending to launch it on the morrow at 12 noon. Saturday 11 Jan 1873, Lonely Dell Arizona. "About 12 noon we had a public dinner on the bottom of the ferry boat. Just having finished pitching her preparatory to launching. Those present and assisted were myself and wife Emma and her children, 7 in number; uncle Tommy Smith, the head builder and two of his sons, Robert and George; Joseph Wood and Helen and child, my son-in-law by Rachael; Heber Dalton and Nancy, son-in-law by Rachael; William Orson, my son by Martha; E.T. Lee, son by Aggeann; and Amorah, my daughter by Rachael; Jackson and an Indian named Tocotow; making in all 22 persons. After dinner we launched the boat and called her the Colorado. And the skiff we named Pahreah. The Colorado is 26 by 8 and 1/2 feet strong. A staunch craft and well constructed and a light runner. The party present all crossed on her to christen her and take a pleasure ride. We crossed over and back twice. Uncle Tommy Smith and son Robert rowed her over and I steered. Set down a good post and fastened her with a cable chain and reached home about dusk. The day cloudy and pleasant. Lonely Dell, Sunday 12 Jan 1873, "As our workmen uncle Tommy and sons, having completed the boat, were anxious to return home, we used the Sabbath in repairing the broken log chain and doing up other chores and etc. Evening we spent in social chat and singing. Then tendered our grateful acknowledgements to the bountiful Giver of all Good, for his mercy in permitting us to accomplish the desired object for the future benefit of the kingdom of God, by securing the several watering places and stock ranches; the ferry with two good boats in complete running orfer, together with the farming interests at the Dell. Settled up with workmen and had the provision prepared for them on their return home by waggon road 100 miles, by trail 40 miles. Sold them a Kentucky roan cow for 25 bushels of cornmeal. Also bought two 1000 lbs more, besides some dried grapes and fruit of other kinds. Lonely Dell Arizona, Monday 13 Jan 1873, "At two in the morning Robert Smith set out by trail for home, and by 6 morning uncle Tommy Smith and son G.A. started by west road. At 7 o'clock Joseph Wood and Helen returned to the ranch, and I to making shingles and building a blacksmith shop. My little boys brought up four cows with young calves, and reported the mare that I had lent uncle Tommy Smith to ride home dead in the river -- quicksand. This is another one of my misfortunes in return for acts of kindness. I had uncle Tommy's oxen a few days. He charged me $1 per day for the use of them. He had my mare a long time gratus. He left her three miles from home almost famished for water and in going down the bank to drink, being weak, mired in the quicksand and perished. Such an act with many are allright in their estimation, yet I do not feel to sit in judgement on him or any ohter man. In uncle Tommy there is many a good quality."Shirtses Branch, FHL Film 0001923 Ross, Thomas (adult); brother of Nancy Ross who was the wife of Thomas Washington Smith; born 15 Sep 1814 in Guilford Co, North Carolina; son of Andrew Ross and Mary Ann Cummins; married (1) Rachael Smith sister of our Leah Smith on 20 Sep 1835 in Gibson Co Tennessee, GIBSON CO MARRIAGES, FHL book 976. 823/V2w, page 20, Melvin Ross posted the marriage bond (2) Margaret Maria Meacham 3 Dec 1855 in Provo Utah, 3.
