    SMITH, John L., of Taghkanic, was born on the farm where he now resides in the town of Taghkanic, January 12, 1837, son of Killian and Polly (Lampman) Smith, who had five children, as follows: Catherine, Charity, Hannah, Maria and John L., all born on the homestead where John L. now resides. Killian was a son of Adam K. and Charity (Dinehart) Smith, who had three children: Jacob, Killian, and Hannah. Jacob had one son, Jacob. Adam K. Smith was a son of John, who was of German descent and was the first of the family to come to Columbia county. He took up the farm now occupied by John L., which has been in possession of the family up to the present time. John L. Smith was educated in the schools of Taghkanic and Claverack Academy. He was associated with his father on the home farm until the latter's death in 1881, at the age of eighty-two years, when he came into possession of the homestead, which contains 260 acres; he has added more to the farm and now carries on general farming on a farm of 460 acres. In 1864 Mr. Smith married Annie, daughter of Edward and Hannah Culver; they have two children: Killian, who married Grace, daughter of Daniel Van Deusen; they have two children, John L. and Russell; and Annie, wife of Lewis Smith; they have two children, Lewis, Jr., and Thelma.
