    Notes 
    • Robert H. Smith entered Coahuila-Texas sponsored by Sam Houston. He bought the Sion Smith Headright and paid for it four thousand red gold dollars. He is listed on the first census of Texas with parents, John and Mary Smith. Their home was on the Pineland Road west of Hemphill, and they are buried in the Smith Cemetery, now known as the Old Whitehead Cemetery. When Robert sold this land he reserved a fifty foot square of land for the preservation of the cemetery. This family was from North Carolina and was related to the Pace family, early pioneers of Sabine County. Robert H. Smith married Mary Johnson, and their home was where the Roy Payne home is now. He raised fine horses, farmed, was a real estate dealer, and a member of the Littleton Fowler Masonic Lodge, which buried him with full honors when he died Sept. 20, 1867 (White and Toole, p 56).
