| Notes |
- Reuben Smith was born 17 July 1756, in Virginia and at age 12 moved to Surry County, North Carolina. He became one of the “overmountain†settlers that became participants in the Revolutionary War when the British threatened to lay waste to their land and hang their leaders. Reuben Smith was most likely recruited by Col. Benjamin Roebuck or Col. James Williams about 1880. He served as a Lieutenant under Capt John Mapp and Col Roebuck.
After Patriot Smith’s Revolutionary War service ended, sometime in 1782, he married Elizabeth Mapp, the sister of his commanding officer, Capt John Mapp. They lived initially in South Carolina, and in 1790, moved to Greene County, Georgia. Reuben died on 14 February 1836 in Greene County.
