Anecdote:
Notes from Dianne H. Gomez
Sallie S. C. Leftwich Smith is the subject of a wonderful letter written probably by her son, Ferdinand. He describes his memories as a 10 year old boy, of the journey which the widowed Sallie and her ten children made by steamer and by wagons from Bedford County, Virginia to Pettis County, Missouri in 1846. They traveled with "fourteen servants, three wagons of household goods and ten seated carry-all or pleasure wagon equipped with tents for a camping trip over the mountains." They arrived in December after six weeks journey and, with the help of her brother, William Burwell Leftwich of Pettis County, she bought a tobacco farm where she raised her children.
Some sources show her name as Sarah Saunders Clayton Leftwich, but the Leftwich Family Association says it is Claytor. Sallie's brother William Burwell Leftwich married John Wesley's sister Sarah Elizabeth Smith.

• Name: Reuben Bartholomew Smith

Notes:

Notes from D. Haley Gomez
Ruben Smith enlisted in the Virginia Militia at the age of 17 in the Revolutionary War, serving under Capt. Robert Beal and Col. William Heth (or Heath). He was wounded, captured by the British, and then escaped through the aid of his sweetheart, Betsy Rice Smith, according to the D.A.R. records. Her father, Edward Smith, was a Tory and probably [was] opposed to the relationship. They married in 1782 and must have reconciled with her family, as they are remembered in Edward Smith's will of 1815. By the end of his life, Reuben was so enfeebled by the wound in his face from the war that his son, John Wesley Smith, ran the family plantation for his father and mother. Reuben and Betsy had fourteen children.

Reuben married Smith, Elizabeth Betty on 4 Nov 1782 in Goochland Co., Virginia. Elizabeth (daughter of Smith, Edward and Rice, Sarah) was born on 2 Feb 1766 in Albermerle, Va; was christened on 2 Feb 1766 in Louisa, Va. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
