Still another of the older Smith ancestors was Malcolm Smith. The following sketch is taken from Grime’s History, pages 287 and 388. We might add that the older people called him “Macom” Smith. The Grime account is as follows: The veteran of the cross was born in Chatham County, North Carolina, in the year 1765. He professed hope in Christ in 1787 and was baptized by Elder Abel Oliver in his native State. He left his moorings in the Old North State and came to Tennessee, landing in Smith County, October, 1807. He cast his membership with that old historic Salt Lick church, situated in the edge of Jackson County. It might be remarked here that this was one of the oldest churches in this section, having been constituted in the very early part of the century. He was ordained by this church in 1810, by Elder Miles West and others. His ministry was mostly confined to Smith and Macon counties. He was a strong Calvinist in doctrine and his preaching was largely experimental. He raised a large family, most of whom became Baptists. One of his descendants, Elder E. L. Smith, of Mt. Tabor church, is noted minister of the gospel. He was present and assisted in the constitution of Salem Association in 1822. He was always busy about the Master’s business till God called him home. He passed to his reward August 23, 1827. Peace to his ashes; would that we knew more of him.
