John Smith, always referred to as “Skinner” Smith or “Skinner John” Smith was born at Stony Point on March 15, 1795, the year after his parents settled in Stony Point.

He became a man of great wealth and was widely known throughout Piedmont. He married 1st to Jane Franklin, a native of Maryland. She is buried in the Andrew Chapel Churchyard Cemetery and it is stated on her tombstone that she was born April 23, 1798 in Charles County, Maryland. Married to John Smith Jan 1, 1817 and died Dec 7, 1838.

After the death of Jane on Dec 7, 1838, John “Skinner” Smith married 2nd to Mary Ann Hallum and they had 3 children:
1 – Lucy Smith
2 – Charles Smith
3 – Basil Smith

In the Andrew Chapel Churchyard Cemetery, there is a tombstone to the memory of Basil Hallum who was born Sept 26, 1775 and died Aug 4, 1816. Also, there are markers to two small children of Basil Hallum and his wife Susannah Hallum. In as much as Mary Ann Hallum Smith, 2nd wife of John "Skinner" Smith, named her youngest son, Basil, the presumption is that she was a descendant possibly a daughter of Basil Hallum buried at Andrew Chapel. When she died and where she is buried is not known.
