According to The History of the Town of Marlborough, Ulster County, New York: by Charles H. Cochrane, pg 19-21
All the Smith brothers were men of capacity and enterprise, though the eldest, Anning Smith, was certainly the busiest and most pushing of the family. He built Smith pond, where there is a fall of water over 120 feet in height. Here he started a woolen factory, a saw mill and grist mill, and kept a store, carried on farming and boating. He was also the first justice of the peace in Marlborough, being appointed by Gov. George Clinton. In this position he served many years. Several times he served on the Board of Supervisors. He married Eleanor Clark, of Cornwall, and had one child, when the War of the Revolution called him to serve his country. He organized a company of volunteers, was chosen captain, and saw good service. It was he who laid out the back road, running for two and a half miles through his own land, which was 1,500 acres in extent. Captain Smith was also one of the original trustees of the Marlborough Presbyterian Church. He died of yellow fever in 1802.
