Rather than divide this into families, it has been decided to post it all as one file, as received from Flossie Marian Kennett Bawden, who took it from her grandmother's records, Leovicy Ann Smith.

July 3, 1887 to September 3, 1965Thomas Aubrey Smith when 15 years old, when to church one Sunday. He went and sat down before preaching began. He heard two women talking. One said to the other, “Look at Tommy Smith’s pants and coat.” If his mother had lived he wouldn’t have looked that way. He looked around and every one else had long pants and his were nearly to his knees and his coat was in the same condition. He was so overcome with shame that he got up and went out. His father had plenty of money. He went out to where some men were talking about the war with the Indians. One said Daniel Boone of Kentucky was to start in a few days to Missouri to drive the Indians west. Thomas feelings were so wounded and as he listened to the conversation, made up his mind to go to Daniel Boone. He went home and told Zack, the black boy he was raised with, whose mother had raised both of the boys when his mother had died. Zack said he wanted to go too, so they waited until night. Thomas tied all of his earthly possessions in a blue bandan handkerchief. He got his father’s red bandana for Zack. They hid their bundles in the woods until night, when they slipped out and in 48 hours they were with Daniel Boone in Kentucky. They fought the Indians for 18 years. Both Thomas and Zack had land warrants in Missouri. Their warrants were in different Counties. Nearly all of Saint Louis belonged to Thomas at one time. Zack always lived in a house near Thomas and was a faithful body servant and was buried in the Mokane cemetery.
A man named Hall was the first one buried there. He had been shot by the Indians and his thigh was broken. He was the only one left to tell the tale of how all of Captain Calloways men were killed. Old Dr. Sappington found Mr. Hall, who when shot had tolled into the Famiree River in St. Charles County, crawled under the roots of a slippery elm tree, lay in the water 5 or 6 days in fear of the Indians. All the company was killed but him. He had nothing to eat except the bark from the roots of the tree. Dr. Sappington carried him to the fort and Grandpa, Thomas A. Smith nursed him. He took such a liking to Grandpa that when he began to make a home, Hall would go with him and lived and died there. Grandpa said it looked hard for a man to lay in the water so long, so near dead and then to run a splinter under his toe nail and died from lock jaw. Thomas Smith had five children when he left the fort. The two oldest by his second wife were named for Mr. Wherry’s lost children.
Mr. Mackey Wherry and his wife lived in the fort and had two children who were lost in the woods and died. They were found three days later cuddled up close to a tree with their arms full of flowers. The mother died of grief. Mr. Wherry lives with the Smith’s when he left the fort and gave all of his land warrants to the Smith’s when he died.
