    Notes 
    • Per Martha Smart: "The story has been passed down by family members that Joseph Smart came to Rutherford County, North Carolina about 1770. He left Pennsylvania, came through Virginia, and married Elizabeth White. They first settled in Mooresboro (now Cleveland County) and later moved to Ellenboro (Webb's Creek) which is 1/2 mile SE of Corinth Baptist Church. He was a carpenter/cooper by trade. His will was dated June 24, 1818 and filed June 1819. He is buried in Joseph Smart Cemetery, now called Hamrick Family Cemetery."
    • There is a grave of a William Smart (died 1795) in Rutherford Co., some researchers make him Joseph's father and give two brothers who fought in the Revolutionary War.
