Obituary
Thursday, July 16, 1846
Leah (Webb) Smith, wife of Allen Smith, Revolutionary soldier and pioneer, died at her home the the Beekmantown road. The Webbs came to this country about 1700 and settled in the Mohawk Valley. After peace was declared they went to Long Island. The Smith and Webb families came to Plattsburgh together, Allen Smith locating opposite the McCreedys the lands of both being heavily wooded with fine maple trees. Little dreaming that a ledge of limestone lay under their land, the McCreedys drew the stone for their home from a distance. Only a bridle path then led through the woods to the grist-mill on the Saranac. The original house of the McCreedys and the barn of Allen Smith are still standing. The Smiths had six children; Rebecca, Isaac (who accupied the homestead), Harvey (died in Beaver Dam, Wisc.), Richard Simeon, and Augustine.
