According to family tradition, this is a photograph of the ruins of the house 
of Robert Smith, Jr. (1749-1834) in Oglethorpe County, Georgia.

The following information was taken from the Centennial Anniversary of Mt.

Rev. Clement C. Cary, in 1920: Robert Smith, Jr. and other family members were
charter members of Mt. Pleasant Church in 1820.
