Bouton-Boughton Family

Elished that Jared Boughton decided to return home. The awyer family remained in Carolina, never coming north again. Mr. Boughton came back to Victor in 1809 and repurchased a part of his original farm. He also built a brick hotel in East Bloomfield, which was one of a series two or three miles apart on what was then called the State road, leading west from Albany to Buffalo, passing through Canandaigua and East Bloomfield. These taverns, as they were then called, were large with ample barns intended for the accommodation not only of the inhabitants, but chiefly as resting places for the many men and teams bringing goods from the east to supply the western market. Here he placed his second son ; the eldest he settled on a farm adjoining his own, but he afterward left farming for the study of law. In this, the home of his early choice, he spent the most of his after life, beloved and respected by all who knew him. He died February 10, 1852, at the home of his youngest son Enos, in East Bloomfield. His wife had died there Jan. 17, 1849. They are both buried in the old burial •ound on Boughton Hill where his father and many of his indred also lie. Children of Jared and Olite Stone Bonghton^ of Stoekbridge, Mass.^ and Yietor, N.

The following obituary was clipped from a Rochester, N. Y., newspaper, July, 1876: "Death of Augustus F. Smith. — We are called upon to announce the death of Augustus F. Smith, of New York. He died on the 6th instant, after a long and painful illness. Mr. Smith was once a resident of this city, and was weU known to many of our citizens. He was a son of Dr. Arch- elaus G. Smith, formerly of Rochester, and the only sur- viving brother of Hon. E. Delafleld Smith. He was born in Victor, N. Y., October 3d, 1819. His father became a resident of Rochester in 1823, and practiced in this city till 1836, when he removed to New York with his family. Mr. Smith was one of the ^*old school boys" of Rochester, graduated at New York university, was admitted to the Bar in New York and practiced his prof essioii there until he was seized with the sickness which resulted iu his death. He achieved distinction and a fortune as a member of the firm of Martin & Smith, whose business equalled, if it did not exceed, that of any legal firm in the metropolis. He was the active member of the firm, his "partner, Mr. Martin, seldom — if ever — ^appearing in court. Unquestionably, Mr. Smith was one of the fii-st lawyers of New York. He never aspired to poUtical preferment — his entire life was devoted to the profession wnich he adorned. He was a man of sterling integrity, unblemished character, of noble bear- ing, and he commanded the highest respect and admiration of Doth bench and bar. He hved in modest elegance, the head of a family refined and devoted. He will be mourned by all who knew him, and the legal profession will be deprived of a member whose ripe learning, elegant culture and unsurpassed ability it can illy spare." 2.720 iv.
