Volume IV of "History of Kentucky," by William Elsey Connelly and E.M. Coulter, Ph.D., published by the American Historical Society in 1922, provides the following profile of Captain Thomas Floyd Smith on page 83:
Captain Thomas Floyd Smith was born in Missouri in 1835, was reared in that state and in Kentucky, and was commissioned a first lieutenant in the United States Army by Jefferson Davis, then secretary of the war. At the outbreak of the war-between-the-states he was commissioned a captain in the Confederate army. He was one of the organizers of the Washington Guards, a famous military company of St. Louis, Missouri. After the war Captain Smith located in Oldham County, Kentucky, where he devoted the rest of his years to farming and planting. He was a lover of fine horses and had some noted stock on his place. He was also an ardent sportsman and found his recreation in hunting big game. He was a democrat, and a member of the Masonic fraternity. Captain Smith died in 1890. His wife, Blanch Weissinger, was born in Jefferson County, Kentucky, in 1848 and died in 1897. (NOTE: Blanch Weissinger's birth date provided in this profile must be wrong, since she would only have been ten years old when she married Thomas Floyd Smith.) Of their six children, two died in infancy and the four still living are: Amanthis Bullitt Smith; George Weissinger Smith, present mayor of Louisville; Anna, wife of Frank C. Carpenter; and Thomas Floyd, youngest of the family.
