"Sarah A. Webb was bom in 1836. She married Lewis Henry Smith, who was bom in the county in 1835, probably in Ithaca. They had two children: Charles Frederick Smith, born in 1860, who, after the death of his mother, lived with Frederick M. Webb until he reached the age of 21; and John A. Smith, bom in 1859. Charles Frederick became the father of the late Cora Hooper of 216 Cleveland Avenue, Ithaca. When Sarah died, Smith married Laura J. Patterson, the daughter of Cruty and and John Patterson. Laura J. was also a granddaughter of Prince De Plessis, who served in the American Revolution and lived in early Danby. During the Civil War, Smith was a private in Co. B, 26th U.S. Colored Troops, enlisting December 28, 1863, and being discharged August 28,1865."
