Notes
Charles Perrin Smith (1819-1883) was born in Philadelphia, to George and Hanna Carpenter Smith, and settled in Trenton, New Jersey with a wife and children. He served many years in the editorial profession, particularly as editor of "The National Standard" in Salem. Smith also served three years as a State Senator and served another three terms (at five years each) in the legislature and supreme court. He also served as Chairman for the Union State Executive Committee during the war. He is the author of the 1870 publication "Lineage of the Lloyd and Carpenter Family," the source of this biographical information, which extensively traces his family's roots, as well as "New Jersey Political Reminiscences," which can be found at UBC Library under F138.S6 A3.
