SMITHTOWN BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY
LON:. 30° 51' 37" N LAT:. 88° 12' 28"W Legal Location T2S R2W Sec 20
Smithtown Baptist Church Cemetery is located in Smithtown, Mobile County, Alabama. Directions from Bel Air Mall, 
Mobile, Alabama. Depart Bel Air Mall on Bel Air Blvd. (North) on Bel Air Blvd. (North) and travel .2miles. Turn 
LEFT (West) onto Airport Blvd. and travel .6 miles. At I-65 Exit 1/Airport Blvd turn RIGHT (North) onto I-65 and 
travel 4.8 miles. At I-65 Exit 8/US-45 turn LEFT (North-WEst) onto US-45 [SR-17] and travel 10.3 miles. Turn LEFT 
onto Smithtown Rd and travel .6 miles. Turn RIGHT into parking lot of Smithtown Baptist Church. Cemetery is on 
the Left. Total route mileage is 16.5 miles.

The cemetery is surrounded by a chain link fence. This cemetery is not a perpetual care site and is well 
maintained by surviving loved ones of those interred and members of the church.
 
This listing is complete as of March 30, 2001, when I surveyed the cemetery and recorded these tombstones. There 
are 146 marked graves in addition to several unmarked slabs for both adult and child. This cemetery is still in 
use.

I have taken the liberty of adding information of which I have personal knowledge from my genealogy research, 
from the Mobile Register Obituary Column when available, or Mobile County Probate Court Marriage Records. Any 
information in this listing that is not on the tombstone will always be found in () parentheses-my genealogy 
research; [] square brackets-obituary column; or {} brackets-Probate Court Records.

The monument in the front of the cemetery reads: SMITHTOWN BAPTIST CHURCH  Establish in 1892 in the home of one 
Henry Williams, this land having been homesteaded by him in 1836. He and his son-in-law, Warren Smith brought in 
their first minister, one Barry Byrd. The first church was built in 1900. The charter members were the wife and 
son of Richard Albert Smith, these being Sarah Mariah Smith, Warren Smith (son), and his wife Annie L. Smith. The 
Smithtown was named for these Pioneer foundering leaders and others.

James Williams homesteaded N.W. 1/4 of S. W. 1/4 Section 20 T.S.2.5 & 2 W Smithtown June 18, 1831.
