Biography

Originally this entry just had "Margaret B. Smith," with a death date of 1861, and since I have found a Margaret Smith who was the wife of Rev. Lucius Smith (who married FMS and WHS), and who died in 1861, I figured I would add it to this entry. Found in 18370819FMS_LMW. Context: "but it was Tuesday night, we expected by nine oclock the next morning the Bishop Parson Smith & wife and Mr & Mrs Peacock with as many episcopal brethren as they chose to bring along to dinner"; "Parson Smith, wife, and daughter had all been here, robed themselves and gone to church at ½ past 10"; "Parson Smith & wife came back to tea. 3 young men also & Collins' singers and musicians. Parson Smith wife and daughter went home soon after tea feeling very jolly – the Bishop left in [the] evening boat for Buffalo"
