Biography

"His (Thomas Smith's) third wife was widow Elizabeth Wendell, to whom he was married on August 12, 1766, and who survived him. She died March 16, 1799... She was the only daughter of John Hunt, a merchant in Boston, and the widow of Jacob Wendell... her father was a respectable merchant in extensive business in Boston. It is probable that the acquaintaince with her commenced by the marriage of his son Peter with her daughter Elizabeth. She was a lady of fine manners, good education and dignified deportment. One of our aged citizens has told me that he was present with her at a wedding at which her husband officiated, where she gratified the company by dancing a minuet with all the ease and grace of an accomplished young lady."
