  [Tried to use year, where stated, person and where they were from.] 
 
  Smithfield was organized Mar. 13, 1807, being set off from Cazenovia. It 
derives its name from Peter Smith, who at the time of the organization was 
owner of all the land contained in the town, except a few farms which he had 
sold to settlers and a strip one mile wide across the northern end. Peter SMITH, 
born near Tappan, Rockland co., NY, was founder of Smithfield.
