    Littleton Smith Pension

    When confronted with a brick wall during your ancestry search, sometimes it pays to reread documents that were collected years earlier. I recently pulled out the Confederate Pension Application of Widow M. F. Smith of McLennan County, Texas.

    Background: Martha Francis Chapman was born 28 August 1837 in Houston County, Texas to Robert D. Chapman and his wife, Rebecca Hodges. Robert D. Chapman is one of my DRT (Daughters of the Republic of Texas) proven ancestors. Martha married Littleton Smith in 1857. The 1860 census lists Littleton as "Leticia" Smith along with Martha and their two oldest girls. In 1850 he had been listed alone in nearby Rusk County, age 18 and born in South Carolina.

    Now there were some Littleton Smith's in South Carolina but they are pretty well documented and don't fit the criteria for my Littleton but I keep them in mind. Smith is a hard name to research so you tend to keep other Smiths in mind but you can't know for sure if they are related. No other Smiths appeared to have moved with Littleton between 1850 and 1860. Other researchers have left information with the LDS church listing him as Robert Lilton Smith. In 1870 he is enumerated as Lewis Smith but with the correct family members. In 1880 he is listed in McLennan County, Texas as L. Smith, a horse breeder, with the same family. So that pretty much sums up the brick wall on my Smith line.

    I spent a little time earlier in the day on Ancestry.com today to see if anything had popped up on my Smith line. I noticed a couple of other Littleton Smiths I didn't remember seeing before but nothing really stuck out.

    But back to the pension application - Martha is named as the widow of L. S. Smith throughout the document but in one place that I had apparently not been able to decipher earlier, he is named as Littleton Spivy Smith. It's hard to read the handwriting but this time it made total sense because Littleton Spivey Smith was one of those individuals I noticed on Ancestry today.

    Well, it turned out that my Littleton Spivy Smith (born ca 1832 in SC) is not the same Littleton Spivey Smith (born 1819 in GA) that is in Ancestry. I could find nothing to help me but I am one step closer than I was yesterday and that made my day.

    I hope this helps you with your ancestry search!

    I have added the Crying Sale document to Littleton's section. This shows he lived in Newberry, SC. It shows his mother Eve (Metts) Smith. I also include the Newberry map that shows where the Metts lived in relation to Smith Island where I believe Littleton lived in that area.

    Next, I have added the Census Records showing in 1850 Littleton S Smith living with his mother Eve and John Wallace, her new husband in Rusk County. Shows born in South Carolina.

    Next, I added the 1860 Census from Houston County show Littleton(his name misspelled as Litita Smith from SC and Marth from Texas living in Houston County. Shows born in South Carolina. His wife Martha was born in Texas.

    Next 1870 Census showing Littleton (Name misspelled as Levis Smith) living with Martha and family in Falls County. Shows born in South Carolina. Again, his wife Martha, born in Texas.

    In 1880 Census it shows L Smith living with his family in McLennan County. Shows born in South Carolina. Once again his wife Martha is shown as being born in Texas.

    Overview: 28th Cavalry Regiment was organized during the late spring of 1862 by Colonel H. Randal. It was formed with about 1,000 men and twelve companies, but one company was transferred to the 19th Texas Infantry Regiment in mid-1864. Some of its members were from Fairfield and Shelby Counties. The unit was soon dismounted and assigned to Polignac's, Randal's, and Maclay's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department, and was active in various conflicts in Louisiana and Arkansas. It saw some hard fighting at Mansfield and Pleasant Hill, then fought at Jenkins' Ferry. The 28th disbanded prior to the surrender in June, 1865. The field officers were Colonels Eli H. Baxter and Horace Randal, Lieutenant Colonel Henry G. Hall, and Major Patrick Henry.

    Littleton moved just north of Masterville (Note: Mr. Cox was appointed the second Postmaster of Bruceville. The Town was then called Masterville, but after the completion of the Mississippi, Kansas & Texas railroad it was changed to Bruceville. Later the name was changed to Cow Bayou, afterward to Masterville, Finally, in 1888, to Bruceville,

    Littleton married Martha Frances Chapman in 1857 in Houston County, Texas.
