This is a drawing of Reverend Anthony Garnett Smith, Sr. Home He was the father 
of Anthony Garnett Smith, Jr. of Upson and Talbot counties, GA. Rev. A. G. 
Smith, Sr. was born on August 30, 1776 in Cumberland County, VA, the son of 
Robert Smith, Jr. who was a soldier in the American Revolution, and Hannah 
Andrews Smith. In 1788, A. G. Smith, Sr. and his parents moved from Cumberland 
County, VA to Oglethorpe County, GA with many of their relatives. A. G. Smith, 
Sr. was a charter member of the Mount Pleasant Methodist Church near Crawford, 
Oglethorpe County, GA.
 
Rev. A. G. Smith, Sr. was married on January 19, 1797 to Mary (Polly) Allen 
(1777-1857).  He was ordained a deacon in 1811 by Bishop Francis Asbury and 
ordained an elder in 1812 by Bishop William McKendree of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church of the U. S. He died on January 18, 1852 and was buried in the 
Smith family cemetery near his home. 
 
I visited his restored ca. 1830 home and its adjacent family cemetery in 1983.  
It was owned at the time by a pharmacist and his wife.  I have photographs of 
its interior and exterior, and the cemetery markers.
