| Matilda's husband, Edward Dade Smoot, was born in 1851 in Washington,
DC. His parents were Avery Edward Smoot (born September 15, 1805,
died April 24, 1866) and Emily Hunter Terrett Smoot (born circa 1815, date
of death unknown). The entire Smoot lineage is available at the following

Edward and Matilda were married in 1870. Concerning the Smoot
descendents, two gravesites in the Joseph F. Wannall plot at Glenwood Cemetery,
Washington, DC, are for children of Edward and Matilda. They are
Harry W. Smoot, interred August 6, 1881, at age 2 months, and Jeanette
H. M. Smoot, interred May 19, 1889, at age 15 years, 3 1/2 months. Of the
other two known children, we now have more information thanks to the nature
of the Internet and "surfing" genealogists from other family sites. See
the profile pages of the Smoot children above for details. We have not
made contact with any surviving members of this family.

If you have the time and patience, you can research the Smoot family by
going to www.familytreemaker.com and search for Smoot. There are
hundreds of pages, but Matilda is definately still listed.
In May of 2009 we learned from the website "familysearch.org" that Matilda
was born in the month of June. The day was not listed.
