from THE GOODSPEED HISTORIES OF MAURY, WILLIAMSON, RUTHERFORD, WILSON , BEDFORD, & MARSHALL COUNTIES OF TENNESSEE orig. pub. 1886, reprinted 1971. pg. 1009.
Nathaniel N. Smithson, a respected citizen of Williamson County, was born in this State County, was born in this State April 2, 1826. He received his education as the average country boy in the district schools. November 30,
1851, he was married to Miss Margaret K. Johnson, a native of Tennessee, born March 8, 1833, and the daughter of Jesse and Dolly (Smithson) Johnson. Our subject and wife were blessed by an interesting family of ten children: James M., born in 1860; Dolly A., born in 1863; Martha P., born in 1874, and Jesse W.(deceased), born in 1857; Elijah K., born in 1867; Mary E., born in 1879; Lydia O., born in 1874, and Jesse W. (deceased), born in 1877.
In 1870 our subject moved to his present location in the edge of Peytonsville, where he has a fine farm of 190 acres; besides this he has another farm of 400 acres in another part of the county. He is a Mason, a staunch Democrat and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. His wife is a member of the Baptist Church. Mr. Smithson is the son of Tandy S. and Ann (Cheatham) Smithson. Her father, a native of Virginia, was born in 1802, and died in 1873, and the mother was born in 1804.
*****
NOTE: There are several errors in the births of the children and only eight of the ten children mentioned are included in the sketch. I have just added Nathaniel's son, James M. Smithson, to Mt. Hope cemetery and his birthdate is Dec, 20, 1852 -- not 1860 as in the sketch.
