Alvin T. Smith
Alvin Thompson Smith (November 17, 1802 – January 22, 1888) was an American missionary and politician in what became the state of Oregon. A native of Connecticut, he lived in Illinois before moving to the Oregon Country to preach to the Native Americans in the Tualatin Valley. There he served in both the Provisional Government of Oregon and the government of the Oregon Territory, as well as helping to establish Tualatin Academy, later becoming Pacific University. Smith’s former home, the Alvin T. Smith House in Forest Grove, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Binfords & Mort Publishing. p. 226.〕 In the early 1830s he moved to Quincy, Illinois, where he worked as a carpenter〔Clarke, S. A. (1905). (''Pioneer Days of Oregon History''. ) Portland: J.K. Gill Company. Vol. 2, pp. 449-451.〕 and where he married Abigail Raymond (born April 21, 1793) on March 19, 1840.〔〔Raymond, Samuel. (1886).

Clark and their wives, along with fur traders.〔Gray, William Henry. 1870. ''A history of Oregon, 1792-1849, drawn from personal observation and authentic information''. Portland, Or: Harris & Holman. pp. 188-190.〕 They left in March after Smith had heard a speech about a group of Native Americans who had traveled to St. Louis, Missouri, and asked to learn about Christianity.〔 Clark and Littlejohn invited him to help establish a mission independent of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.〔
