It's the most wonderful time of the year! Felicitations of the Season!
Samuel Smith was born on this day in 1771, and is buried in a small family cemetery a few hundred meters north of the site of Fort Slongo. He died in 1861, aged 90. The cemetery was probably located on his family's farm, he would have been a boy of about 10 years old when the Battle of Fort Slongo took place, probably asleep at the time, but would have seen the Fort and its ruins after the event. He was probably a grandson, or great-grandson of the founder of Smithtown, Richard Smythe.
Summer 2019 has a little more than a month to go!
The Lamar Institute completed their survey and investigation of the Fort and surrounding battlefield, and will publish the results of their study. When completed, watch for a link!
Archaeological survey of the site has yielded some artifacts and evidence of the battle.
