The smart family connection with me is a grim tale. Alexander Smart and his son came to WA in search of gold, leaving his wife and other children and his family brothers and sisters, including those you have mentioned. He did visit and sent some money but that stopped when he started having an affair with a young woman. His son had married my GG Grandfather's sister and they chose to go the live with his mother back east when they found out what his father was doing. Briefly Alexander soon changed his name and remarried a third woman the day she turned 17. The family of his first relationship came looking for her and became suspicious when the found him married to another. The police started an investigation and initially charged Alexander with bigamy and he was imprisoned in Fremantle. Shortly after the police using a tracker found the body of the first girl in the splinter fire where AS had worked. He was charged with murder and is one of just 8 white men hung from the gallows in Fremantle. The story is longer with twists and turns.....but my belief is that his family brothers and sisters left Australia during the turmoil that he was treating. As for the Lewis family, Cecelia Smart nee Lewis had five children before dying too young and there are a growing number of smart defendants living primarily in Victoria. I will share my tree where you can see some more about the smarts. I am a seventh gen WA and Cecilia was the only Lewis member to venture east in the early stages. I have written a book on the family in WA and it does cover the Smart story ....;; Ian Lewis
