I just started tracing my family tree today. Somewhere I have information buried about the Smacks you mentioned. They are on my family tree.I will start searching for anything I have. If I cannot find it, I can ask my sister in Colorado who has more info than I do.

Were you ever able to find the Smacks in your family history that correlate with the names I posted earlier in the year? Any info would be appreciated. managemt@earthlink.net

NEW YORK Smack - Rochester area
I can't help you specifically with the names in Tarrytown, but know that my family decended from the Rochester, NY area. I believe that line is from a William Smack who owned a candy store in Rochester in the late 1800's. Seems to me my uncle has traced that line back to the Netherlands...will let you know more when I speak to him.

THE SMACK FAMILY IN NEW YORK
I may be the Christian connection you are looking for.My father left me notes about Christian family being buried at Terrytown. I believe Christian and Stephen were brothers of John, as I have Dates of Birth and information on their children from a book I received from the library of congress written by Edward H. Jayne titled "Ancestry of the Jane Family of Long Island.His grandfather was Elijah Smack, a brother of William Smack, my great grandfather.His book also points to this connection.
