SMITH, Jesse C., soldier, born in Butternuts, Otsego County, New York, 18 July, 1808; died in Brooklyn, New York, 11 July, 1888. He was graduated at Union in 1832, and studied law in New York city, under Alva Clark. He took much interest in military affairs, became adjutant, and subsequently major, of the 75th regiment of New York militia, and afterward colonel of the 14th regiment. While commanding the latter, he suppressed the "Angel Gabriel" riots, which were caused by the preaching of a lunatic who gave himself that appellation. General Smith was surrogate of Kings county in 1850-'5, and state senator in 1862. At the beginning of the civil war he was instrumental in the reorganization of the National guard, and in forming the 139th regiment of New York volunteers. He commanded the 11th brigade of the National guard at the battle of Gettysburg. After the war he practised law in Brooklyn.
