It is known that Richard D. Smith was the only boy in the family. All other children to this marriage were girls. This is known because Richard D. Smith passed on a razor to his son. The razor was given to Richard D. Smith by his father -then Richard passed it on to his only son, Arthur Jackson McGinnis-Smith stating this in a letter that accompanies with razor. Descendants of Arthur's family still have the razor and the note, which has been passed down to the first son of this family line through each generation that followed.1055
