Mary Smith (20 Oct 1744-10 Dec 1809) baptized at St George's Church, Hempstead, 29 May 1745; married 29 May1762  Maurice/Morris Smith (d.1779) The name ‘Morris’ was used interchangeably with ‘Maurice’ both in New York and in Louisiana.  He was apparently the son of a Samuel Smith, but which one we do not know. Their eldest daughter was baptized at St George's Church in Hempstead 13 Oct 1765, at which time, the record says, they lived in Chester, Connecticut. Morris Smith and his partner John Pettit, New York City (Lower Manhattan) merchants, went bankrupt in March 1768, and their estates were assigned to Isaac Smith of Hempstead and William Post of New York City.
. . . Morris and Mary lived in Poughkeepsie, New York, from 1767 to 1774, according to tax records. Samuel Smith, presumed to be Morris’ brother, also lived there 1765-1778. They both contributed to the purchase of the glebe (land) for Christ Church (Church of England) in Poughkeepsie in April 1766, and for the building in 1773. Parish records were started in 1766 and three of Morris’ children were baptized there. Contributors to the salary of Rev. John Beardsley on 25 Dec 1775 included Samuel Smith, boatman, Samuel Smith, farmer, Maurice Smith, tanner, and Morris S Smith. Maurice Smith, cordwainer, was witness to the will of Richard Van der Burgh of Poughkeepsie, blacksmith, in May, 1769.  
. . . Just when Morris and Mary moved to Louisiana, we do not know. Reports of the battle in Lexington, Massachusetts, in April, 1775, struck Dutchess County hard. And Committees of Safety were quickly organized. A Tory, Morris did not join them. Britain was offering their loyal citizens land in West Florida in order to populate it and strengthen her claim against the Spanish. Morris received a 200-acre British land grant in West Florida, now St Tammany Parish, Louisiana,10 Sept 1776. (son Uriah testified in 1819 that it was granted by the British to his father 21 Sep 1777 and surveyed 15 Jan 1779 by the Spanish surveyor Carlos Trudeau.)  A Peter Smith was granted 100 acres a short distance away on the same date.  The land was on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain at Bayou Castein, where the town of Mandeville is now.  The Bockee Family, p.64, reports a letter received in New York from Mary in 1792, from "Castell Boyne," then a widow, mentioning two children, naming Peggy.
. . . A hurricane 17-18 August 1779 destroyed both the British and Spanish fleets, One ship was patched together by Americans, and captured Lake Pontchartrain.  Mary Smith was among the British citizens on the north shore who signed the surrender papers,16 October 1779  (Morris having died) swearing allegiance to the new United States. Also among the signers of the surrender papers was Samuel Smith, of whom no further record has been found.  Though this was probably the same as, or the son of, the Peter Smith mentioned above, and of unknown relation to Morris.  England ceded West Florida to Spain in 1783. Not part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, it declared itself The Republic of West Florida 30 Sep1810, and peacefully surrendered to United States forces 10 December 1810.
. . . One very old family story says that during an Indian uprising, the men were away, and word came that a band of Indians were coming. "Grandma" sent "Aunt Margaret" and the other children staying with her down to the spring house for safety. In the evening, she noticed that the clock on the mantel had stopped, or otherwise needed winding. A short woman, she stood on a chair to wind the clock, and saw reflected in the glass face of the clock, the Indians, in war paint, standing in the doorway. She turned around and greeted them "Good evening, gentlemen. I have been expecting you." She proceeded to serve them tea, and to explain most of the items in her living room to the silent visitors. Much later, as they left into the night, one of them thanked her for a pleasant evening - in perfect English.
. . . The version I heard was specific to Margaret Tate Ott's childhood, (born 1813, later married Charles Ott) but the Seminole War of 1818 was farther east (Pensacola), and her mother had died in 1814, her father did not remarry until 1821, and that would have been quite late for Choctaw trouble in Louisiana.  However, the story fits this generation much better.  The raids of Willing and Pickles in 1778-9 (see Edwards paragraph 4) were followed by Indian raids that destroyed most of the plantations that Willing and Pickles had not.  That would have sent this daughter Margaret Smith, age 16, her younger brothers, 8 and 5, and perhaps some neighbor children, to the spring house while their widowed mother, Mary Smith, age 35, with her proper New York upbringing, wound the clock.
