NASH

Moses Nash, born in 1812, at Amherst, son of John Nash and wife, Sally (Lewis). For a time he and his brother kept a store in New Hampton and Concord. He married Susan M. Smith, daughter of Jacob Smith and wife, Louisa C. Robinson. Her great-grandfather, Jeremiah Smith, an early settler, came to Meredith about the same time his brother, Ebenezer, came from Exeter. These brothers descended from Richard Smith, who came from England.

A son of Jeremiah Smith, who married Hannah Lock, daughter of Deacon Locke, had a son, John Rice Smith, who married Rhoda Blaisdell. They had five children. Among them was Jacob, who was 86 years old at his death.

Jacob Smith, who married Louisa C. Robinson, had a daughter, Susan M. Smith, 1832-1887, who married Moses Nash. Ellen M. married Arthur A. Tilton, son of Carlos Tilton of Andover. E. L. married Morrill Doe, son of Augustus Doe. Sarah married John Garland.

The field was very level on Meredith Parade, and Jeremiah Smith gave the use of the field adjoining the house to a company of militia for a training ground. The old home was left to Mrs. Tilton, who is of the fifth generation of Smiths that have lived there.
