The family located at Bedminster, N.J. [Somerset Co., now 2 CONC near intersection of I-78 & I-287], where John Smiley enlisted in 2 CONC March 1780 as a private and teamster under Capt. John Davis in Col. 2 CONC Richard Butler's 9th Regiment of Pennsylvania militia [corrected 2 CONC below-- regiment part of Brig. Gen. Anthony Wayne's Brigade, 2 CONC Continental Army]. He served until Jan 1, 1781. 2 CONT After the war, John Smiley lived at Newburgh, [Orange County], 2 CONC N.Y., and then at Walkill, Ulster County, NY [just north of 2 CONC Newburgh], where he married Mary MOTT (date not known). From Watkill 2 CONC the young couple moved to Groton, NY [Tompkins Co.] andt then to 2 CONC Lansing, NY [also Tompkins Co., northern suburb of Ithaca], where 2 CONC Mary (Mott) Smiley died and was buried (date not known). John Smiley 2 CONC is known to have lived at Hinsdale, NY [Cattaraugus Co., north of 2 CONC Orlean], with his daughter Matilda before making his final residence 2 CONC in the town of Busti with his son Samuel. 2 CONT While living with his son in Busti, Chautauqua County, NY, John 2 CONC Smiley applied for a pension Feb 11, 1836. The pension was granted 2 CONC and in the 1840 Pension List he is named as being 79 years of age and 2 CONC residing with his son Samuel in the town of Busti, Chautauqua County, 2 CONC NY. 2 CONT The only known children of John Smiley are his daughter Matilda 2 CONC and his son Samuel, who on May 6, 1811 married Sarah Cooper. A 2 CONC tall, shaft-style monument marks the burial-plot of Samuel Smiley in 2 CONC Busti Cemetery.

From West Point he marched to winter quarters in the huts 2 CONC at Morristown, New Jersey, remaining there until discharge. 2 CONT 2 CONT According to his pension application, John Smiley lived in the town 2 CONC of Bedminster, New Jersey, for about five years after the war; then 2 CONC he went to Walkill, Orange Co., NY, where he married his wife and 2 CONC stayed about twenty-three years; from whence he moved his family and 2 CONC settled in Lansing, Tompkins County, New York, where he resided for 2 CONC more than 23 years and where he buried his wife; that from Lansing he 2 CONC went to the town of Hinsdale, Cattaraugus County, NY where he lived 2 CONC with a daughter about two years; that in March 1835 he moved to 2 CONC Busti, Chautauqua County, NY where he has since resided with a son. 2 CONT 2 CONT The compiler is indebted to Mary Emily Smiley of Los Angeles, 2 CONC California, A lineal descendant, for the use of official documents 2 CONC regarding John Smiley. 2 CONT 2 CONT == 2 CONT 2 CONT Family Tree Maker Online: GenealogyLibrary.com: Soldiers of the 2 CONC American Revolution , Page 67 ...

The family located at Bedminster, N.J. [Somerset Co., now 2 CONC near intersection of I-78 & I-287], where John Smiley enlisted in 2 CONC March 1780 as a private and teamster under Capt. John Davis in Col. 2 CONC Richard Butler's 9th Regiment of Pennsylvania militia [corrected 2 CONC below-- regiment part of Brig. Gen. Anthony Wayne's Brigade, 2 CONC Continental Army]. He served until Jan 1, 1781. 2 CONT After the war, John Smiley lived at Newburgh, [Orange County], 2 CONC N.Y., and then at Walkill, Ulster County, NY [just north of 2 CONC Newburgh], where he married Mary MOTT (date not known). From Watkill 2 CONC the young couple moved to Groton, NY [Tompkins Co.] andt then to 2 CONC Lansing, NY [also Tompkins Co., northern suburb of Ithaca], where 2 CONC Mary (Mott) Smiley died and was buried (date not known). John Smiley 2 CONC is known to have lived at Hinsdale, NY [Cattaraugus Co., north of 2 CONC Orlean], with his daughter Matilda before making his final residence 2 CONC in the town of Busti with his son Samuel. 2 CONT While living with his son in Busti, Chautauqua County, NY, John 2 CONC Smiley applied for a pension Feb 11, 1836. The pension was granted 2 CONC and in the 1840 Pension List he is named as being 79 years of age and 2 CONC residing with his son Samuel in the town of Busti, Chautauqua County, 2 CONC NY. 2 CONT The only known children of John Smiley are his daughter Matilda 2 CONC and his son Samuel, who on May 6, 1811 married Sarah Cooper. A 2 CONC tall, shaft-style monument marks the burial-plot of Samuel Smiley in 2 CONC Busti Cemetery. He died Dec. 30, 1870 aged 82years 5 months 28 days. 2 CONC His wife Sarah died May 31, 1872 aged 77 years. Other descendants 2 CONC buried in Busti Cemetery, according to standing headstones, include 2 CONC William Smiley (1814-1903) and MAry Ann, his wife, who died Apr. 2 CONC 22, 1898; Lewis E.

The 9th Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded by Col. 2 CONC Richard Butler from 7 June 1777 till 17 January 1781, was part of 2 CONC Brig. Gen Anthony Wayne's brigade in the Continental Army. 2 CONT 2 CONT A review of John Smiley's pension application indicates that he was 2 CONC with General Wayne's troops when they hurried to West Point in late 2 CONC September 1780 at the time Benedict Arnold's treason had become known 2 CONC and it was feared that the British forces might attempt to capture 2 CONC West Point. From West Point he marched to winter quarters in the huts 2 CONC at Morristown, New Jersey, remaining there until discharge. 2 CONT 2 CONT According to his pension application, John Smiley lived in the town 2 CONC of Bedminster, New Jersey, for about five years after the war; then 2 CONC he went to Walkill, Orange Co., NY, where he married his wife and 2 CONC stayed about twenty-three years; from whence he moved his family and 2 CONC settled in Lansing, Tompkins County, New York, where he resided for 2 CONC more than 23 years and where he buried his wife; that from Lansing he 2 CONC went to the town of Hinsdale, Cattaraugus County, NY where he lived 2 CONC with a daughter about two years; that in March 1835 he moved to 2 CONC Busti, Chautauqua County, NY where he has since resided with a son. 2 CONT 2 CONT The compiler is indebted to Mary Emily Smiley of Los Angeles, 2 CONC California, A lineal descendant, for the use of official documents 2 CONC regarding John Smiley. 2 CONT 2 CONT 0 TRLR
