The descendants of John Jack and Mary Barnett were:  1.  Ann Jack, married Moses Wiley. 2.  Mary A. Jack, married John J. Barnett. 3.  Dr. Thomas Jack. 4.  John Jack. 5.  Samuel Jack, married Annie Leslie. 6.  Susan Jack, married Alexander Bowie, formerly Chancellor of Alabama.

The descendants of Susan Barnett and George W. Smart were five children, of whom only two arrived at the years of maturity, Albert W. and Thomas B. Smart.

George W. Smart represented Mecklenburg county in the House of Commons in 1805, and again in 1808.  He died in May, 1810.  Mrs. Smart survived her husband many years, and was one of the remarkable women of her age.  She was long known and highly esteemed in Mecklenburg and surrounding country for her general intelligence, ardent piety, and retentive memories of Revolutionary events.  At the great gathering of delegates and people in Charlotte, on the 20th of May, 1775, she was present (then thirteen years old), and still retained a distinct recollection of some of the thrilling scenes of that memorable occasion, not the least of which was “the throwing up of hats,” in the universal outburst of applause, when the resolutions of independence were read by Colonel Thomas Polk, from the Court-house steps.

She died on the 28th of November, 1851, aged ninety years, and is buried, with other members of the family, in a private cemetery on her own farm, nine miles from Charlotte, on the Camden road.  It should be stated, the grandfather of L.M.  Wiley and others, (John Jack) was a cousin and not a brother, as some have supposed, of Capt.  James Jack, of Charlotte.

Our prescribed limits forbid a more extended genealogical, notice of the Barnett family and their collateral connections, many of whom performed a conspicuous part in the Revolutionary War.  Capt.  William Barnett was a bold, energetic officer, and was frequently engaged, with his brothers, and other ardent spirits of Mecklenburg, in that species of partisan warfare which struck terror into the Tory ranks, checked their atrocities, and gave celebrity to the dashing exploits of Col.  Sumpter and his brave associates.

Mary Jack, third daughter of Patrick Jack, of Charlotte, married Captain Robert Alexander, of Lincoln county, who emigrated from Pennsylvania to North Carolina about 1760.  He commanded a company during the Revolution, in the Cherokee expedition, under General Rutherford; acted for several years as Commissary, and performed other minor, but important trusts for the county.  He was one of the early band of patriots who met at Newbern on the 25th of August, 1774, and again attended the Convention at Hillsboro, on the 21st of August, 1775.  After the war, he settled on his farm, one mile northwest of Tuckasege Ford, on the Catawba River.  His residence was long a general stopping-place for travelers, and painted red—­hence, it was widely known as the “Red House Place.”
