Andrew Farney Smyth (1817-1879), riverboat
captain, surveyor, mill owner, farmer, merchant, and judge, was the second
eldest son of Andrew and Susannah Smyth. After living in Pennsylvania and
Tennessee, the family settled down near Moulton, Alabama, in 1817. Andrew F.
Smyth moved to Jasper county, Texas, in 1835, and initially aided in managing
the affairs of his brother George W. Smyth, a congressman and signer of the
Texas Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Andrew gradually found his
own success, first as a surveyor then as a grist and sawmill owner, employing
80 people full time at the Smyth Mills by 1855. Andrew entered a brief and
ill-fated partnership between 1855 and 1859 with W. A. Ferguson to operate a
general store that nearly resulted in Andrew's bankruptcy, but with his family
and friends’ financial assistance, he was able to buy out Ferguson and turn
Smyth's Mercantile into a profitable business.
Andrew is best known as a
riverboat captain, a business he began in 1838 by building flatboats to ship
cotton down river, then selling both the cotton and the timber of the boat upon
arrival at the Gulf of Mexico. Around 1850, Andrew acquired the keelboat
Jasper, for transporting cotton to the Gulf. Upon
retirement, the Jasper's hull was used to build a
house on the Smyth acreage along the Angelina River. Andrew captained his first
steamboat, Camargo, beginning in 1862, but
persistent mechanical problems compelled him to replace it with the newly built
Laura in the early 1870s. The best-known ship on
the Neches for 25 years, the Laura hauled cargo
and provided the first dependable passenger transportation in lower east
Texas.
In 1844, Andrew married Emily Allen (1827-1907), daughter of
Benjamin and Nancy Allen. The couple had six children, all of whom Emily
corresponded with regularly: Frances, Andrew C. “Buddy” or “Constantine,”
Araminta “Mintie,” Susannah “Susan” or “Coo”, Nancy “Nannie,” and George W.
“Buck,” II (not to be confused with Andrew F.’s brother George W. Smyth, Sr.,
or his son George W., Jr.). After his father's death, George II formed the
George W. Smyth & Co. partnership with his mother and brother Andrew, in
order to handle the business affairs of the family, including the land, the
Smyth & Seale General Merchant Store & Sawmill, and the steamer
Laura, now captained by M. C. Smyth.
In
1861, Nancy Smyth (1846-1892) married Elisha D. Seale (1833-1911), son of Lewis
Seale and grandson of Joshua Seale. Elisha was a well-respected teacher and
served briefly as a school supervisor at the Jasper Collegiate Institute before
the Civil War caused the school to close. Elisha had a close relationship with
his mother-in-law Emily Smyth, and referred to her affectionately as “Ma” and
“Little Mother.” Elisha and Nancy had fifteen children: Emma “Emily”, Francis
“Jimmie”, Henry M., Andrew G., Basco, Esther “Essie”, David W. “Watts”, Ruth,
Minnie, Susan E. “Coo”, Lewis J., William, Nancy, Mary “Mame”, and Grace. Ruth
went on to become a pharmacist and owned R. Seale & Co. Drugs, raising
chickens on the side for additional income. William, a contractor and
timberman, was actively involved in the American Lumberman Society during the
1920s. Both Esther and William Seale became interested in family genealogy. In
1966, Wiliam’s son, Dr. William Seale, Jr., published the biography,
Texas Riverman: The Life and Times of Captain Andrew
Farney Smyth.
The Andrew F. Smyth Papers, 1799-1800, 1832-1990 [bulk 1840s-1940s],
consist of correspondence, Legal and financial documents, photographs,
publications, and other material, which document the business activities and
personal lives of five generations of the Andrew F. Smyth family, including his
children, grandchildren, brother George W. Smyth’s family and son-in-law Elisha
D. Seale’s extended family. Series include: I. Smyth Family Papers, II. Seale
Family Papers, III. Assorted Family Papers, IV. Unidentified Family Papers, V.
Photographs, VI. Newspapers, VII. Artifacts, and VIII. Confederate States of
America Money.
The bulk of the first series, Smyth Family Papers, 1835-1909, 1923, and
undated, document the land surveying and river transportation trade of Andrew
F. Smyth, the relationships between Emily A. Smyth and her six children, and
the business activities of George W. Smyth II and Co. Within the series are
also the papers of other family members, including Andrew’s brother and
sister-in-law George W. and Frances Grigsby Smyth, Sr., his children Araminta
Wagley and Andrew C. Smyth, his son-in-law Nathan M. Hart’s family, and
assorted family members.
The Andrew F. Smyth Papers, 1835-1880, 1896, and
undated, document Smyth’s activities as land surveyor, sawmill owner, judge,
and steamboat captain. Of note is a June 1, 1860, sealed certificate signed by
Governor Sam Houston appointing Andrew F. Smyth subengineer of the
Neches-Angelina navigation improvement project. Included are many hand-drawn
survey plats created by Andrew F. Smyth for land surveying and as part of the
Neches-Angelina project. Correspondence, Legal documents, and Financial
documents relate to his business ventures as well as his private life. Also,
some of the ledger books have entries written by family members, including one
nearly twenty years (December 1896) after Andrew’s death in 1879.
The
Emily Allen Smyth Papers, 1847-1904, and undated, contain primarily Emily’s
correspondence with her five children, and business and Legal documents
relating to the shipping business, her pension and inheritance, and the rental
of her properties.
The second series, Seale Family Papers, 1799, 1858-1927, 1942-1976, and
undated, highlights the Legal and financial activities of schoolteacher Elisha
D. Seale, his grandfather Joshua Seale and father Lewis P. Seale, his wife
Nancy Smyth Seale, his brother William F. Seale, and many of Elisha and Nancy’s
children and grandchildren, including druggist Ruth Seale, William Seale, Sr.
and Jr., Esther Seale Hooks, Esther Hooks Walker, and others. Receipts, bills,
warranty deeds, probate records, business and personal correspondence, and
genealogical documents also illuminate the activities of the Seale Family.
The third series, Assorted Family Papers, 1838, 1849-1851, 1861,
1890-1902, and undated, contains the Legal and financial documents of the Allen
and Grigsby Families and Horace A. Glenn, a cousin of Emily Allen Smyth.
Material without a known author or with an author of unknown relation to
the Smyth and Seale families form the fourth series, Unidentified Family
Papers, 1800, 1832-1923, [ca. 1959], and undated. It is comprised of
correspondence, Printed material divided by subject, Legal and financial
documents, survey material, Creative works, and handwritten notes.
The Photographs series, [ca. 1850s]-1990, includes prints, cased
daguerreotypes, tintypes, negatives, and one glass ambrotype, of Smyth family
members, Seale family members, and unidentified or unrelated people. Although
most of the photographs date to the 19th to early 20th centuries, many prints
in this collection were made in the latter half of the 20th century from
original photographs; most of the dates reflect the original date rather than
the reprint dates.
The sixth series, Newspapers, 1846-1925, 1942, and undated, comprises
various publications from the United States, primarily in Texas. Listed
alphabetically, the date and place of publication is also given when known. Of
note are the complete issues of The Christian Herald and Signs of Our Times
(NY), July 9, 1885- June 7, 1888. However, most of the newspapers are
incomplete issues or news clippings.
The final two series, Artifacts and Confederate States of America Money,
have been removed to the Artifact Collection and Money Collection,
respectively.
