Capt. David Smith From Judith Johnson's memorial on Find-a-grave:

David Smith was the oldest son of a fisherman in Cape Cod. Both his parents were of English descent, but their families had lived several generations in Massachusetts, New England.Captain David had gone to sea when a boy of nine and had become master of a ship at seventeen.

At 24 years old David Smith married to 19 yr old Rebecca Lombard in 1767. They had their first 6 children in Truro, Massachusetts where David was a successful whaler. He was recorded as one of the first men to travel as far as the Falkland Islands in pursuit of whales.

David Smith and his young family lived through the American Revolution (1775-1783). They were on the side of the United Empire Loyalists. After the revolution, there was a huge wave of United Empire Loyalists that emigrated to Canada and other parts of the world. It was 1784 when he came to Guysborough, NS with family of 5 sons and purchased a lot from Joseph Hadley for a wharf & business site. One of the sources state that he was reputed to be a man of considerable financial means as well as being thrifty and industrious. In 1786 made his home in Juste au Corps, Port Hood Island, NS. The house was isolated with no roads and long, hard winters. No other families lived in the area.

There are several accounts relating to the drowning of Captain David Smith near his home. He and 2 or 3 sons went seal hunting on the drifted ice on 19 Feb. 1789. An ice flow parted and they drifted from shore. David tried to cross the flows to shore but failing this he started to swim to their small boat. The weight of the water and the cold were too much for him - he was unable to get out of the water. The boys watched as their father drowned. The next day, cold and hungry, their ice flow drifted near the beach at Mabou, and the boys got ashore. With their pregnant mother and brothers and no neighbors, the small tragic family faced life alone in the wilderness. From such a hard and humble beginning the Smith family increased to multitudes of Smiths all across Cape Breton. The Smiths history is well documented. Many people are proud to recount their descent from Captain David Smith. And many descendants have come to this place in the Union Protestant Cemetery to see and photograph the memorial. (Sharing of these photos is welcomed and appreciated.)It was carved from native sandstone by a notable stone carver named William Pring. You will notice his unique work on many of the other tombstones of Inverness County through the Find-a-grave links.

The land grant David was to receive as a United Empire Loyalist went to his widow in 1792. Although his body was not recovered, his memorial is on his wife's tombstone. on 24 February 2017.²

Lewis Lambert Smith From Judith Johnson's memorial on Find-a-grave:

Lewis Lambert Smith was the oldest son of English loyalists Capt. David Smith and Rebecca Lombard. He was born in Cape Cod, Massachusetts at the verge of the American Revolution.
When he was about 13 years old, his family immigrated to Nova Scotia, Canada. They were the first English residents on Port Hood Island which was at that time a wild hinterland. Only a few years later when Lewis was 17, he was out seal hunting with his father, brothers and their dog King, when his father was accidentally drowned. The sons found themselves stranded on a piece of ice that was floating away from their home. They survived the ordeal but on his return, Lewis became the man in the family and had all his younger siblings looking up to him for protection and support. They were true pioneers living off the land and sea.
Tradition says he and his brothers pastured cattle in the Hillsborough area before settling in Mabou. When he was about 25 years old, in 1796, he became one of the first land owners in the area of Mabou. It would later be known as Smithville. This is why sources confuse Mabou/Hillsborough/Smithville. Crown Land Grant Maps of Cape Breton #108 confirm the precise location. 1796 was also probably the year he married to Christiana Worth because their first child was born one year later. Christiana was a daughter of loyalist parents from New Jersey who had immigrated to Nova Scotia.
In 1813 Lewis is found on the Service Roll of the Second Regiment of the Cape Breton Militia List with his wife and 8 children. They have the 2nd largest family on the list. He also had the largest stock listed with twenty-two cattle and thirty sheep.
Lewis and Christiana's family was faithful and they prospered. In 1818, the very first Presbyterian church service for the area was held in their home. Lewis' father-in-law Benjamin had encouraged Rev. James MacGregor to come to the area. Many Presbyterians from Mabou had grown up never having heard a sermon in their lifetime, so this was a matter of great interest.
In 1822, his mother died. In her will, he is named as son and appointed co-executor of her estate. Lewis was also recorded as the treasurer of the Mabou branch of the Nova Scotia Bible Society in 1824. It is said that Lewis had a solid conviction that no work should be done on the Sabbath.
He lived a long life but at age 75 was tragically killed by a bull. on 24 February 2017.¹

Isaac Smith From Judith Johnson's memorial on Find-a-grave:

Isaac Smith was born in Truro, Massachusetts to Captain David Smith and Rebecca Lombard. Both of his parents were of English descent whose families who had lived as fishermen for several generations in this area of Cape Cod. At the time of his birth, the country was fighting the American Revolution. Isaac's parents were Loyalists. At the end of the Revolution, in 1784, they chose to move their family to Guysborough, Nova Scotia. Isaac would have only been a toddler. In future records, Isaac personally confirms that his family remained there for a period of about two years before moving to Port Hood Island.
In 1789, his father drowned while on a seal hunting expedition with his sons. Some sources state that Isaac was with them on that fateful day, while others discredit this, assuming Isaac was too young. He would have been 9 years old. Despite their misfortune, Isaac's family continued living a secluded life on the island, basically from the land and sea.
It is recorded that Isaac and his brothers Lewis and David were among the first land holders on the mainland. The most interesting thing to note in the records is that Isaac was only 14 years old in 1795 when he received a lot of land of 200 acres with a promise to occupy and improve. The grant for this lot was allowed later around 1818.
Isaac's brother Harding, who had returned to Massachusetts as an adult but continued to visit Nova Scotia, helped Isaac build a house for himself. It was the first frame house in Port Hood. During the 1940's, a woman named Clara Dennis wrote several books and did a series of photographs documenting the folklore and family stories about the people of Nova Scotia. Isaac's house was featured in the book "Cape Breton Over". Over 130 years after it had been built, it was still standing and Isaac's descendants still lived in it.
Isaac married to Catherine Fraser around the year 1815.
They raised a large family and Isaac became known as progressive farmer in his time.
He died in 1853. on 24 February 2017.²
