DANIEL M. SMITH was born in Morgantown, Butler Co., Ky., December 14, 
1811, and was the first white child born in that place.  He is a son of 
Jacob and Mary (Barker) Smith, the former of whom was a native of 
Pennsylvania, and the latter of Maryland.  They were of German and 
English descent, respectively.  When but a small boy Jacob Smith removed 
with his mother to Maryland, his father, Adam Smith, being absent in the 
Continental army during the Revolutionary war, where he remained 
throughout the entire struggle, and was absent so long that his friends 
had given him up as dead.  In Maryland young Jacob received his early 
education, but while yet a young man, in the latter part of the last 
century, he immigrated to eastern Kentucky, coming down the Alleghany 
and Ohio Rivers, first landing at Maysville, and from thence he removed 
to Mercer County, Ky., where he was married in 1800.  In early life he 
learned the blacksmith trade, which he continued to follow, in connection 
with farming, all his life.  In 1808 he removed with his family to 
Russellville, Logan County, Ky., where he remained some three years.  In 
the fall of 1811, he came to Morgantown (then just laid out), Butler 
County, where he resided until his death, which occurred July 20, 1854, 
in his eighty-second year.  He and wife were devoted members of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church for more than forty years.  Daniel Morgan 
Smith received such an education as the schools of the country afforded 
in his youth.  He was employed on his father's farm and in his shop 
until he was twenty-five years old, after which he located a squatter's 
claim, some seven miles east of Morgantown, Butler County, upon which he 
erected a cabin and commenced to improve the farm, upon which he still 
resides.  Some years later he bought the land, and now owns a 
well-improved farm of 180 acres.  He has always given considerable 
attention to the raising of stock.  He has held the office of assessor, 
and also of constable.  He was married January 24, 1837, to Polly 
Flener, a native of Butler County, Ky., who was born March 6, 1818.  
Thirteen children blessed their union, nine of whom - four sons and five 
daughters - are yet living, all of whom are married, except two sons.  
Their names are as follows: Louisa J. Romans, Sallie Flener, Columbus B., 
Peplina Rogers, Berrilla Miligan, Powel C., Lavaga[?] A., Daniel Morgan, 
Jr., and Paridine A. Flener.  The maternal grandfather of our subject, 
John Barker, was also a veteran in the Revolution.  Mr. Smith belongs to 
no church or secret order.  In politics he is a Democrat.
