Notes |
- Very little is known of my husband's Great Grandfather other than his birthdate and the fact that he was a policeman for the City of Philadelphia, PA, with a badge number of 808. He was born in New Jersey on March 2, 1849, to Isaac Smith and Susannah T. Clark. On Dec. 25, 1875, he married Mary M. Drollinar in Philadelphia, PA, and they lived in the home of Mary's mother, Catharine Drollinar (or Drollinger), a widow. It is believed that Isaac and Mary later moved to Haddon Heights, New Jersey. One of his sons was Jacob Grayson Smith, who later changed his name to Grayson W. Smith; this man was my husband's grandfather. Another son was Howard Smith, a well-known painter, born in Philadelphia on September 23, 1877. Howard had a twin sister named Kate (Kathrine), but it is believed that she died in her 20's. She was still alive, age 22, in the 1900 census. Another child born to Isaac and Mary was Oscar, who was born about 1899, and died sometime between 1900 and 1910. Isaac died, presumably in Haddon Heights, New Jersey, in 1934, but the exact date and the burial place are not known at this time.
