ANDREWS, WILLIAM A., JR.
It would be hard to find a photo of worse quality than this one and I apologize. If anyone can access and scan a paper copy of this book or has photos of Co. H, 19th Regt, MA Vols in late 1861 and can positively identify Gen 8 More descendant William Andrews in a noncopyrighted photo, please send it to me using the "share your images" link to the left. The same goes for the young man below, Charles Perry Lufkin, his first cousin. William and Charles's mothers were sisters, and the More line runs as follows for William: Esther (Knowlton) Andrews, Moses Knowlton, Moses, Benjamin, Susanna (Dutch) Knowlton, Susanna (More) Dutch, Richard More of the Mayflower. The More Silver Book is a thin volume, shared with James Chilton, and gets only to the birth of the second Moses, William's grandfather. The senior Moses Knowlton had 17 children, and the family populated northern MA & ME. Info came from Charles Henry Wright Stocking, The History and Genealogy of the Knowltons of England and America, vol 1 (NY: Knickerbocker Press, 1897), pp. 68, 144-5, 277 and vol. 2 p. 417 (info & image). Both volumes were digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

SMITH, LUKE
He was born in 1804 to David Smith and Ellen Giddings, according to the author of the book with this photo and at the time of its publication was still living so the information in it should be pretty reliable. However, the town death record gives his mother as Elinor Gideons. Let's assume it was Giddings. Maybe he was named for Luke Giddings and Ellen was an older sister of Luke. She was in the right place at the right time to be the daughter of Isaac Giddings who married More descendant Christian Goodhue and perhaps that couple moved to the same part of New Hampshire that Brown and Dodge cousins moved to. There are hints in censuses, various town and county histories, and scant vital records but New Hampshire needs to get its probate and land records online to confirm or disprove any of this. Since poor Richard More has so few descendants memorialized here, let's give him his moment and call Luke Smith and Luke's son George L. Smith, below, Richard More descendants. Luke's theoretical line would be Gen 8 and run as follows: Ellen (Giddings) Smith, Christian (Goodhue) Giddings, Christian (Brown) Goodhue, Elizabeth (Knowlton) Brown, Susanna (Dutch) Knowlton, Susanna (More) Dutch, Richard More, child passenger on the Mayflower. Image and info from Duane Hamilton Hurd, History of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1886, pp. 608-9, digitized by the University of New Hampshire.

SMITH, GEORGE LUKE
You can read more about his career in his entry in the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress but there are no picture, parents, or children mentioned. He was born in 1837 in NH, served in the Civil War (possibly as a civilian, though) so there might be more photo opportunities there, and he represented Louisiana in Congress, died in Arkansas in 1884, then was buried in NH. If he left descendants, the records are probably all over, geographically. See his father Luke's writeup for his Gen 9 lineage and the reasons why this entry is speculative. Image and some info from Duane Hamilton Hurd, History of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1886, pp. 608, digitized by the University of New Hampshire. (The title page is missing but the publication details can be found on Internet Archive.)
