    • I recently read a newspaper story about Amos M. Smith aka Mysterious Billy Smith, a Boxing Champion of the late 19th century. Amos' parents were Robert and Adelia (Dakin) Smith and his grandparents were James and Sarah Anne (Annie)(Outhouse) Smith. I show James and Sarah Anne Smith with eleven children but none with the first name Robert. Does anyone have anymore information on this branch? Did Robert move back to Tiverton? I show his parents entering Ontario in 1799 and they are buried near Toronto. (GenForum msg from David Cooper)

  • Notes 
    • (R10) James Smith, a British seaman, son of John and Phoebe Smith, had met the Outhouse family while he was stationed on Gen. Sir Henry Clinton's barge at Stoney Point during the war. James was born in England. He was a British mariner who collaborated with the British during their occupation of Philadelphia. In 1781 he joined the British Navy and became friends with his future father in law, Nicholas Outhouse. When peace was signed, he was sent back to England for mustering out, but returned to New York to seek Sarah Ann and its said he helped look after the family until Nicholas could get back from Nova Scotia.
