Topsfield Smith Family Home
In 1690, Thomas Dorman, an early Topsfield resident, built a sturdy New England home on this site. The home was subsequently occupied for many years by four generations of Smiths—Samuel I (1666–1748), Samuel II (1714–1785), Asael (1744–1830), and Joseph I (1771–1840). The home and property became known as the Smith Homestead. Samuel II, Topsfield’s representative to the First Provincial Congress in 1774, attained the rank of captain in the Revolutionary War. Asael defended New York’s northern border as an enlisted soldier in the Revolution. Joseph I was the father of Joseph Smith Jr., prophet and founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism). The original home was razed between 1870–75. The current home was built in 1876. This monument is erected in honor of the Smith family of Topsfield whose lives and character exemplified the cultural, political, and religious values of the New England region and of a new and emerging nation.
