Thomas Smith was born about 1826 in England. He was the son of Aaron Smith and Hannah Kinsey. The family immigrated to the U.S. when Thomas was 9 years old. They had a farm in Summit County, Ohio.

Thomas married Catherine M. Holmes on December 5, 1852 in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. They had five children during their marriage: Nellie L. (died when she was 15yrs), Mary Alice, Ida, Herbert Kinsy, and Howard. They had a farm in Richfield Township, Summit County, Ohio.

In the 1870 agricultural census, they reported 60 improved acres, 16 acres of wood land, real estate value of $4,000 and personal estate value of $500. They owned 3 horses, 1 milch cow, 3 sheep, and 4 swine. They grew spring wheat, Indian corn, oats and barley. At the time of the census, Thomas was 44yrs and Catherine was 34yrs (children: Mary A. 13yrs, Ida M. 7yrs, and Kinsy 1 month).
