    • Residence: 1874, Hay Twp., Huron Co., Ontario, Canada

    Notes:

    Cushman Smith, born at the Conestogo on November 11th, 1800, was named after an Uncle of the same name at Lewiston, N. Y. Cushman Smith is the son of Captain Smith who married the girl that he had helped to care for when she was a baby. This was Mary Asia Wilbee, who was born on the Atlantic ocean on June 11th, 1821, when the Wilbee family were on their way to settle on the Pilkington estate. She remained at Captain Smith's until she was two years old, when, her father having married again, she went to the home he then had for her in the township of Pilkington. When she had grown to womanhood Mary Asia was for a time at the home of Alpheus Smith at Cox's Creek, and it was at his brother's home that Cushman Smith again met the girl who, it would seem, was destined to become his wife.

    Cushman Smith was one of those pioneers who made a clearing on a farm built a house, began to have some comfort in his surroundings, then sold out to commence all over again the toilsome work on another bush farm. Half a dozen farms were mentioned that Cushman Smith lived on. The last one in this neighbourhood was that farm on the east side of the river road and just within the township of Pilkington. The remains of an orchard is all that marks the spot now.

    Nowadays those who are looking for new farms to settle on go to New Ontario, or to the Great Canadian West, but when the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway had been built through to Lake Huron it was there, where the timber could be shipped by boat or railway that for men accustomed to bush life the prospects were brighter. Therefore, in the year 1874, although at the age of sixty-eight, Cushman Smith removed to a farm in the vicinity of Port Elgin, upon which some of his family still reside.

    Long after he had left Pilkington, when old men who knew him were asked about him they would say, "no one hereabouts ever made better axe- handles than Cush. Smith; he could beat them all."

    Cushman Smith died at the home of his son Henry, near Port Elgin, on September 28th, 1891, at the age of nearly eighty five years, while his wife died on March 23rd, 1899. In their family were: Edward, who taught school at West Montrose and died there on June 30th, 1878; Thomas also died at West Montrose, January 6th, 1872; Stephen died at Berlin on November 10th, 1905; Elizabeth went to Petoskey, Michigan; Henry and his sister, Amanda, are living on the farm near Port Elgin; Angus is at Leland, Idaho; Sarah lives on a farm near Southampton; Ira lives at Wolverine, Michigan; and Charlana died at Port Elgin, February 13th, 1891

    Notes:

    "It was at Capt. Smith's, in 1821, that the Wilbee's, a family of English settlers going to the Pilkington Estate, found shelter. Some of them were sick with typhus fever and were here nursed back to health. During the voyage out, on a vessel called the "Asia," a baby girl had been born and she was called "Mary Asia." At Capt. Smith's the young mother died of the hardships of the voyage, leaving the baby girl to be nursed and cared for, for two years, by Capt. Smith's family. One of the sons was especially kind to the mitherless bairn. The others in the family teased him by saying she would be his wife some day, never thinking that it might be true, but again was truth strangers than fiction for Mary Asia Wilbee became Mrs. Cushman Smith.
