History of Madison County, Illinois, Edwardsville, IL: W.R. Brink & Company, 1882.
John H. Smith was born in Frederick county, Virginia, January 26h, 1827. His father, James Christopher Smith, who was a native of the same county, went with his father, Christopher to Ohio about 1828, and there died. James C., his son, moved to Holmes county, same state in 1829, and in 1839 went to Lawrence county, Indiana. In the fall of the same year he came to Effingham county, Illinois. One year laer he went to Clay county, which was his home until January 13, 1843, when he died. He married Elizabeth Tewalt, a native of Frederick county, VA. She died in November 1843. There were eight children by that marriage, five sons and three daughters. Five children are yet living. John H., the subject of this sketch, is the third in the family. He was raised on the farm, and received his education in the common schools, which ceased when he was twelve years of age. Mr. Smith remained at home until 1847, then went to St. Louis, and in January following, 1848, came to Madison county, and stopped in the town of Alhambra, where he and W.W. Pierce hunted game for the St. Louis market. The next spring he came down to the part of the country where he now lives, and worked on a farm, first for seven, and afterwards for ten dollars per month. He soon after bought one hundred and sixteen acres on Smart's Prairie, forty acres of which were improved, and continued there until January, 1853, then sold the farm and bought one hundred and ten acres in section twenty-four of Pin Oak township. The latter was slightly improved, and had on it a small log cabin, and there he has lived ever since. He has built a large, fine dwelling-house, barns and out-houses, and has now a beautiful place, as will be seen on another page of this work.
On the 23d of August 1849, he married Miss Maria Smart, daughter of Henry and Sally Smart, old settlers of Madison county. Henry Smart was a native of North Carolina, and Mrs. [Sally] Smart of Kentucky. Mrs. [Maria] Smith was born near where she yet lives. Twelve children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, eight of whom are living. Their names in order of their birth are: James H. who married Miss Elizabeth Boliger; Martha Jane, wife of F.M. Bartlett; William A., married Miss Elvina Shadrick; Sidney L. married Miss Julia Dietz; Mary Alice, Itha Rachael, John A., and Narcissa E. Smith. Those that are married live in the township, and the others are yet at home. Mrs. Smith is a member of the Baptist church. Politically Mr. Smith has been a Democrat since 1852, when he cast his vote for Franklin Pierce for president. He is an honored member of the order of A.F. and A.M., and belongs to Troy Lodge No. 588. He has been reasonably successful in life, all of which is owing to his industry and energy. He is a good man and much respected in his neighborhood.

Portrait & Biographical Record of Madison County, Illinois, Chicago, IL: Biographical Publishing Company, 1894.
John H. Smith. Among the representatives of intelligence and moral worth in Pin Oak Township, the subject of this sketch occupies no ordinary position. He is widely and favorably known, and is the possessor of two hundred and seventy-five acres included in the home farm, besides sixty acres in another part of the township.
Mr. Smith was born in Frederick County, Va., January 26, 1827, and is the son of James C. and Elizabeth (DeWalt) Smith, the former of whom was also born in Frederick County. James Smith came with his wife and eight children to this state in 1839, and located on a farm in Clay County, where he died when in his forty-fifth year. His tract included a quarter-section of Government land, which he worked very hard to place under tillage. His wife also departed this life on that estate when in her forty-first year.
The paternal grandfather of our subject, Christopher Smith, was born in Germany, and on emmigrating to the United States, when a young man, located first in Virginia, and later took up his abode in Ohio, where he spent the remainder of his life. His sons and daughters lived in the Buckeye State until the spring of 1839, when they disposed of the farm and removed to Indiana, and in the fall of that year came to this state, locating in Clay County.
John H. Smith, of this sketch, was reared on the home farm, and after his father's death left home and began working out. He was thus employed for seven years, when he engaged to work a farm on shares and two years later left Illinois and went to Arkansas, where he chopped cordwood. In the fall of 1847 he went to St. Louis, and after a residence there of a short time came to this county on a hunting trip with an expert hunter, William R. Pierce. Their expedition lay in Alhambra Township, and in 1849 Mr. Smith came to the place where he is now living and owrked out by the month.
August 24, of the above year, our subject and Susannah Smart were united in marriage. The lady was born near her present home, and became the mother of twelve children, of whom those still living are, James H., Martha J., WIlliam A., Sydney L., Mary A., Itha R., Johna A., and Narrissa I. After his marriage Mr. Smith found that he had only $50 in money, and with this he made a payment on one hundred and sixteen acres of land, whose only improvement was a little log house, 16x20 feet in dimensions. In that they lived for three years, and then disposing of this purchase, he became the proprietor of one hundred and ten acres included in his present farm. He engaged in mixed agriculture, improved the land and erected good buildings upon it, adding to the same from time to time until his landed possessions now aggregate three hundred and thirty-five acres.
Mr. Smith is a self-made and self-educated man, as he was permitted to attend school only five days after coming to this state. By means of natural ability and energy he has accumulated a good property, and in this community he has a wide acquaintance and is held in high regard. His entire family are members of the Baptist Chruch, in the workings of which they take an active part.
