James Webber Smith
Lieutenant-General James Webber Smith Order of the Bath, CB (1778–1853) was a British Royal Artillery officer who fought in the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars. Origins Born on 19 November 1778 and christened on 5 August 1779 at the church of St Faith in Havant, Hampshire, he was ''legally'' the son of Rear-Admiral Charles Webber (1722–1783) and his second wife, Anne Vining Heron (1748–1805). In fact, his biological father was almost certainly William Smith (Ordnance), William Smith (1721–1803), Treasurer of the Ordnance, who, six months after the Admiral's death, married Anne in the parish church of St Marylebone Parish Church, Saint Marylebone on 24 November 1783. The five-year old James Webber then became the stepson of his probable father, who in his will left him a fortune provided he took the name and arms of Smith. His legal father's brother, the Reverend William Webber (1724–1790), Canon Residentiary of Chichester Cathedral, was the husband of Ann ...

James Webster Smith
James Webster Smith (June 1850November 30, 1876) was an American professor and a cadet at the United States Military Academy. A former slave, Smith became a scholar and is recognized as the first black person appointed to a cadetship at West Point. His tenure at the academy, from 1870 to 1874, was fraught with racial prejudice and ended with Smith's formal dismissal a year before completing his studies. Embittered by his experience, Smith nonetheless found success as a professor at South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Institute. He died of tuberculosis in 1876. Although Smith’s military career was curtailed by racism, he later served as the Commander of Cadets at South Carolina State. In 1996, at the request of South Carolina Congressman John Spratt, President Bill Clinton approved the posthumous commission of James Webster Smith, to the rank of 2nd lieutenant of the U.S. Army. At the ceremony, Spratt stated: “It’s an atonement, long overdue, for what James Webster ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
