Sarah Smith

• Devereux Smith, Fearless Pioneer by Margaret Pearson Bothwell [1957] - Appendix II. - Devereix Smith's Immediate Family And Some Of His Other Descendants.

Page 288 - "Research has failed to reveal the year in which Devereux Smith and his wife, Elizabeth, were married. He was born in 1735 and died in 1799. She was born in 1729 and died in 1813. Mr. Smith's allusion in his will, dated July 13, 1798, to his "living son Edward" and to his "living Daughters, Mary Amberson, Elizabeth Greenough, Sarah Fowler, Margarette Small, Jane Heaney and Hannah Means" leads one to the conclusion that there were other children born of his union with Elizabeth, and that they were dead." Or, moved away.

Page 289 - Devereux Smith's daughter Sarah married Alexander Fowler, who was Captain Fowler when he became an auditor for the U. S. Army in the Western District. His record in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is an interesting one. Sarah was still living when he died on February 25, 1806. She referred to herself as the widow of General Alexander Fowler in a power of attorney to Walter Forward, which she acknowledged on March 26, 1818, and which is of record in Allegheny County, Pa.
