Additional Comments:
Cornelius Smart married Temperance Rushing about 1816 in SC. Temperance and 
Cornelius had migrated to Montgomery County and later moved to Pike County and 
settled on the Blind Jack Road.  They joined the Beulah Primitive Baptist 
Church in Pike Co., AL on 6 February 1836.  Cornelious was a deacon for may 
years and served on committees conducting church business.  

The Troy Messenger, 15 April 1875

"Pike County, in the sudden death of Mr. Cornelius Smart on the 7th, lost one 
of her oldest and most respected citizens.  He had reached the ripe old age of 
four score and five years and was one of the few surviving veterans of the War 
of 1812.  During the late years of his life, he was a Deacon of Beulah 
Primitive Baptist Church and in all his situations with his fellowmen he 
exhibited the graces of a Christian character."
