  • Clapman Smith Son of Daniel Smith Sr. UEL
    Clapman Smith son of Daniel Smith Sr. UEL (by John Noble UE) Daniel Smith Sr. was a farmer/publican from New Milford, Connecticut who served as a guide during the American Revolution for General Tyrone. He married Ruth Fitch in New Canaan, Connecticut 22 May 1760. The marriage and date are recorded in "Early Connecticut Marriages: Fourth Book -Stamford-New Canaan New Haven Second Church” page 23. (Copy attached). The marriage record indicates that Daniel was originally from Norwalk. Daniel’s parents were Nehemiah Smith and Elizabeth Clapham from Norwalk. Daniel’s wife, Ruth Fitch, was the daughter of Theophilus Fitch and Lydia Kellogg and was born in Norwalk on 1 April 1739 (copy from Kellogg genealogy and genealogical record of Norwalk attached as well as an article from the American Genealogist, Vol . 2, Issue 3, 1949 on Daniel Smith’s ancestors by Donald Lines Jacobus and an article from the Spring 2009 issue of Generations entitled “Daniel Smith’s Ancestors and Children” by George H. Hayward). Daniel Smith and Ruth Fitch had several sons and daughters in Connecticut, including Clapman born in 1762, but the only one for whom there is any record is Lydia who was baptized in New Preston (near New Milford) in 1766. At least one genealogist has suggested that the missing records are due to mice eating the Norwalk records.1 Daniel Smith Sr. arrived in Saint John with the 1783 Spring Fleet on May 11, 1783 on board the Union. Two of his sons, Daniel Jr. and Clapman Smith arrived in Saint John on board the “Two Sisters” in September 1783 (date established from Clapman’s 1785 petition for land saying he had been in the province for 18 months.
