Albert J. SMITH was born on January 22, 1822 in Tennessee.
Albert J. Smith first appears in the United States census in 1850. The census was enumerated on December 23, 1850. His family lives near Lee Creek, Crawford County, Arkansas.
Enumerated in the household of Albert J. Smith are the following:
Albert Smith 28 M farmer Tennessee
Phebe 26 F Indiana
Mary J 4 F Arkansas
Allen 2 M Arkansas
Henry 0/12 M Arkansas
Delilah Smith 12 F Arkansas
Delilah Smith probably isn’t a daughter of Albert and Phebe Smith.
In 1860, the family is still living in Crawford County, Arkansas near Lee Creek. This census took place on August 15, 1860. Enumerated in the household are the following:
Albert Smith 38 M farmer Tennessee
Ibbe 35 F Indiana
Mary J 14 F Arkansas
Allen 13 M Arkansas
Harry 8 M Arkansas
Burton 7 M Arkansas
Clinton 6 M Arkansas
According to family legend, Albert J. Smith met an early death in 1867. “Albert J. Smith was killed by bushwhackers in 1867. This occurred near the end of the civil war. He was shot a short distance from his home in the Boston Mountains. They left him where he fell. His wife Phoebe was not far from their home when he was murdered. This started the cemetery where the Smith clan is now buried. His grandfather Calvin is also buried in this cemetery. The area is now within a forest preserve. After Albert died, his body was placed on an oxen with the help of a neighbor with last named Garret (also possibly buried in this cemetery). He was hauled 1/4 of a mile west of their home. The cemetery is a 1/4 mile northwest of what was originally called Raines Hollow, named for Elzy Raines, who married Albert's widow Phoebe.”
Albert J. Smith is buried in the Albert Smith Cemetery, Natural Dam, Crawford County, Arkansas.
In 1870, the remaining members of Albert J. SMITH’s family are found living in Lee Creek, Crawford County, Arkansas. The census was taken August 4, 1870.
Enumerated are the following:

Milton 16 M Arkansas
William 12 M Arkansas
Calvin 12 M Arkansas
Ewin 8 M Arkansas
Martha 5 F Arkansas
George Fain 20 M Tennessee
Sarah Fain 17 F Arkansas
Living next door is Elzy and Phoebe Rains. Phoebe has remarried at this time. I also believe that there are cousins enumerated with Mary J. SMITH. Her siblings would be Allen, Barton (Burton), Milton (Clinton), Calvin, Ewin, and Martha.
Phoebe Smith-Rains is also buried in the Albert Smith Cemetery.
