Samuel Smith (Pennsylvania)

Samuel Smith (before 1780 – fl. 1815) was an early 19th-century member of the United States House of Representatives from Pennsylvania's 11th congressional district.

Smith was a Democratic-Republican who served as an associate judge of Erie County, Pennsylvania, from 1803 to 1805. In 1805 he was elected to the Ninth Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of United States Representative John Baptiste Charles Lucas. He was reelected in 1806 and 1808 to the Tenth and Eleventh Congresses, but was defeated in his bid for reelection to the Twelfth Congress in 1810.

He was later receiver of public moneys at the land office at St Stephens, Mississippi Territory circa 1815.[1]

Despite his nearly five-and-a-half years in Congress, remarkably little, if any, historical documentation survives regarding Samuel Smith's life, including the years of his birth and death.

gollark: Unfortunately, we don't have [REDACTED], so I can't really do non-euclidean spaces without (very obvious) spatial IO hacks.

gollark: Why would I just rebuild that? It would be cooler to make a giant sprawling messy complex.

gollark: Also suspiciously easy door locks.

gollark: That gives me an idea - I should make some sort of giant potatOS research complex on CN and pack it with random dangerous machinery, valuable loot, and warning signs.
