(1758-1842)
Margaret Spear Smith (1758-1842) was a member of a prominent Revolutionary-era family and the spouse of Samuel Smith. Samuel Smith was a military officer whose career or family position supplies an important part of this entry’s Revolutionary context. The marriage connected Margaret Spear Smith to the political, military, commercial, or social developments surrounding the Revolution. This life overlapped the Revolutionary era, when war, political upheaval, disrupted trade, military service, and changing governments placed unusual demands on households and extended families. Surviving documentation is strongest in genealogical, family, estate, and marriage records rather than in a separate public biography. Including Margaret Spear Smith in HistoryGPS recognizes that households, marriages, property, correspondence, hospitality, and kinship networks were essential parts of the world in which Revolutionary leaders acted.
