Research Notes:
belonged to distinguished Presbyterian families, both on the paternal and
maternal sides [Ref: Helm TODD p259]
grauated at Princeton in 1773. He succeeded his brother Samuel Stanhope Smith
as president of Hampton Sidney College in 1779, but resigned in 1789. In 1791
he accepted the pastorate of the 3rd Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia.
Failing health compelled him to relinquish the pastoral office, and he was
president of Union College, Schenectady, NY, 1795-99. Restored health enabled
him to return to his former charge in Philadelphia, but he was cut down by
yellow fever three months after his installation. He was celebrated as a
pulpit orator. [Ref: Helm TODD p260]
