After doing considerable work over his own name, in 1823, he became a partner of George Girdler Smith." Cf. 〕 Charles A. Knight and George H. Tappan (Smith, Knight & Tappan, ca.1850s). Smith belonged to several civic and social groups in Boston, including the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association, Boston Light Infantry, and the Freemasons.
