    Journeyman printer living and working in Alexandria in 1800.
    Smith is known to have been a part of the Virginia print trade from his appearance in the Alexandria city census for 1800. That listing, however, simply noted his trade and residence in the Fourth Ward, and not his employer. No other information concerning Smith has been uncovered, largely a result of a common name, so leaving his identity and fate unknown.
