He accumulated a large property for his day and time - lands, slaves and money; in his day, channels of investment were restricted almost exclusively to lands and negroes; old man Samuel lived close, managed well, and hence he accumulated much. It was said of him (and I suppose it was true) that he never used any of the produce of his farm until it was a year old - always looking for a famine; he made on his farm what he and his family lived on - spent nothing. It was further said of him that he never spent any silver or gold, but hoarded it - that when he died he had a barrel full of silver interspersed with gold; whether this was true or not, is not certainly known, but such is the traditional reputation. Don't know to whom he married - he, however, did marry, and had and raised a family of three children, two daughters and a son. Of the daughters, one (name not known) [Mary] became the wife of old Captain William Page, and the other, Elizabeth (called Betsy), married Robert Moody. The son, Samuel (called Samuel Smith, Jr., while his father lived), married, first, a daughter of old Osborne Lane...he lost his Lane wife, and he married, a second wife, Sallie Hays, daughter of Benjamin Hays." - pages 496-498, A History of Marion County Note: Grave marker obtained by Mrs. Henry Berry on January 28, 1930
