Smith

The Smith family of Covington, LA was descended from a founder of the village of Wharton in St. Tammany Parish, which became Covington when later incorporated as a town. This Smith genealogy was originally assembled by Archie R. Smith III. Data on John Edis Smith is largely taken from Legends of Covington Cemetery No. 1, 1988.

1. John Edis (Edes) SMITH, Sr., b. 4/17/1815 in Baltimore, MD (his father was b. in England), d. 5/15/1893 in Covington; m. (1) 7/1/1843 in Baltimore, MD Eliza Jane MASSON, b. 7/10/1823 or 8/10/1823 in Baltimore, d. 10/14/1882 in Covington, d/o Capt. William MASSON, Sr., and Eliza MASSON (See Masson 1.1.1.2a.6). His parents died in Baltimore of yellow fever. (But an oral account by Alton Smith says that they died at sea, and that there was a brother who was separated from John Edis in Baltimore.) He lived with an uncle on Kent Island, farmer William Legg. In 1832 he went to work for Joseph G. Galibert in Baltimore to learn the cooper's trade. In 1837 he shipped on board the schooner Captain Shaw to Mobile, AL, and from there went to New Orleans, where he was a foreman for D. S. Dervees & Stockton. He returned to Baltimore after seven years and married Eliza Jane MASSON. Alton Smith says that she had T. B., which prompted them to move to Louisiana for the warmer climate. They returned to New Orleans on the Tippecanoe, and later in 1843, moved to St. Tammany Parish, settling near the town of Sun. He was a blacksmith at first. He started Smith Hardware around 1846. By 1857, they moved to Covington to have a better education for their children. The Smiths lived in an attractive house on East Rutland Street, which remained in the Smith family for about 125 years. It now houses the St. Tammany Homestead. Smith Hardware continues to be carried on by the descendants of John Edis Smith, his son Hardy Horatio Smith, and Hardy's sons Archie and Alfred Smith. However, two of his sons, Hardy and Henry, had a fight which led to the establishment of a separate store by Henry Smith in 1876. The business H. J. Smith's Sons is still run by descendants of Henry James Smith, his son J. Lewis "Deed" Smith, and his son J. Louis "Red" Smith. He m. (2) ______; no children.
