- Daniel B. Smith & Lucinda Tufts (1774-1849 * 1785-1856) by Dorene Hancock Smith
- Life Story of Nathan A. Smith & Mary Wilds (1820-1888 * 1818-1895) by Dorene Hancock Smith
- Life Story of Carl William Smith & Mertie May Loomis (1852-1928 * 1861-1925) by Dorene Hancock Smith
These three essays the life stories of the paternal family of Jonathan Smith, Dorene's husband. She writes in her Preface: "After many years of research, their life story was prepared using actual birth, marriage, and death records, as well as town records, land records, old maps, newspapers, probate records, and old photos of the town of West Fairlee. In addition, in 1981, 1988, 2007 and 2015, we visited West Fairlee, Vermont, and took pictures of the church, the prior home and property, and the tombstones of Daniel B. Smith and Lucinda Tufts, and tombstones of some of their children. I have tried to present accurate information, but recommend independent verification before accepting the material as fact.
