This comes from the fact that surnames originated from terms applied to men in the occupations of the day. Among all the trades and callings not one was as common as the term "smith," applied tO' those who were engaged in supplying the people with the useful and needful articles of everyday life. Hence this class of yeomen were not only useful to the community, but they were men possessed of strong character and rugged ability. Ezra S. Stearns in commenting upon the ancestors of these numerous families, says most aptly: "In the history of the world the Smith has been a pioneer of civilization in every country and in every clime, and in every age. He forged the swords and plowshares and made the coats of mail and war chariots of all the nations of antiquity. His value as a member of a community was never denied. Among our Anglo-Saxon ancestors the smith was a member of his lord's council, and at feasts sat in the place of honor, at the lord's right hand. The name anciently spelled Smythe, is derived from "smite" and signifies one who strikes with the hammer. It was one of the first occupative surnames adopted by the English-speaking people when they 520 HISTORY OF HILLSBOROUGH. Stepped out of the twilight of the middle ages into the light of modern civilization." Several families bearing this name have lived in Hillsborough. Thomas Smith's Descendants. Lieut. Thomas emigrated from Ireland and settled in Chester in 1720, being one of its original grantees, and active in the work of building up a town in the wilderness. Chester did not escape the depredations of the prowling red men who were on the warpath in those days, and one afternoon while he and his brother-in-law were at work in the clearing they were surprised and captured without being able to give an alarm. Immediately the elated savages started with their captives towards Canada, where they expected a good bounty from the French. At night the captives were separated and each securely bound, their hands lashed to their sides and their faces downward. Lieut. Smith was not one to submit without an effort, though he was careful to conceal his real intentions, while he bided his time. Each night he noted carefully the direction his brother was taken, and on the third night, when the last of his captors had sunk into the deep slumber that comes in the middle of the night, he began to try his strength upon the ligatures that bound him. Fortunately he was a man of prodigious muscle, and he brought such a strain to bear upon the strong cord that held his arms, that it broke in twain. His hands free it was not a long task for him to free his lower limbs, and inside of five minutes he stood looking down upon his over-confident enemies eager to catch the first movement that might be made. But the red men slept on, and as silently as a shadow he stole away, actually stepping over the body of one in his cautious flight. Not satisfied to escape alone, Lieut. Smith followed in the direction taken by the party who had charge of his brother, and after going a mile he found him in a situation similar to what had been his. With the craft that an old woodsman might have envied he crept to the other, who fortunately was awake, and with a few mighty tugs at the stout thongs, — he had no knife, — he soon had his brother free, and none too soon, for the twain had barely SMITH. 521 reached the cover of the forest before a wild yell in the distance told that the escape had been discovered. Then began one of those flights paralleled here and there in the days of the pioneers. The second squad of red men were quickly aroused by the outcries of their companions, and they discovered that their bird had flown. Following the course of a stream to conceal all trace of their flight, the fugitives fled until daylight began to streak the wilderness with its silver rays, when they sought a hiding place where they remained until another night had thrown its mantle of darkness, which to them was one of charity, over the scene, and again they pursued their way in the direction of home, as nearly as they could tell. So well did they follow their course on the third night they reached their relatives and friends mourn- ing over them as dead. Though I have found no record of his wife's family, Thomas Smith must have been married when he came to Chester, and in 1735 his adventurous spirit led him to penetrate still further into the wilderness, and taking his wife and children with him he took up his abode within the territory now included in the town of New Boston, being the only white man in that section of country. If he remained there through the period of Indian invasions and at- tacks is for the historian of that town to relate, but I do know that a grandson of Thomas Smith, David Smith, was born in New Boston, Nov. 24, 1769, the son of Dea. John Smith, and one of 19 children, his mother having been Ann Brown of Frances- town. This David Smith m. in 1791 Eleanor Giddings, b. in Woburn, Mass., Jan. 20, 1771. He rem. from New Boston to Acworth in 1800, where he remained nineteen years, when he came to H. settling on a farm on the road from Lower Village to North Branch, and known by his name to this day. He was an Orderly Sergeant in the N. H. Militia, and belonged to the "Alarm List" in 1812, but was not called into service. Mr. Smith and wife were both members of the Baptist Church and consistent Christians. His wife d. Jan. 17, 1852; he m. second, Mrs. Pike, of Goshen; he d. April 4, 1858. 522 HISTORY OF HILLSBOROUGH.
