Smith, Daniel

Daniel Smith was a master builder elected to the Carpenters' Company in 1828. In the 1814 Directory, he was listed as residing at 216 South Third street. By 1820, he had moved to 222 Green Street. In 1834, he made a successful application to measure and value carpenter's work. He worked partnership with Joseph Smith, who was likely a close relative. Daniel also extensively served the Carpenters' Company first as Warden and on the Managing Committee. He later served Book Prices Committee and eventually became the Vice-President in 1842 and the President in 1845. He died in 1865.
