The Smith Farmhouse is a historic house in Pasquo, Tennessee, USA.

History

The house was built circa 1815-1825,[3] and was redesigned many times.[3] It was the home of James Hyphen Smith (1788-1845) his wife Lucy Greer (1793-1872), and their eleven children.[3] Smith ran a store in Pasquo.[3] After he opened another store in Brush Creek, Tennessee, the house was lived in by his son Washington George Smith and his ten children.[3] Later, another son, Walter Sparel Smith, lived in the house with his nine children.[3] It was then inherited by his son, Charles Benjamin Smith, who lived there with his five sons, and finally by his grandson, Charles Randall Mungovan.[3] Meanwhile, the Smith family continued to run stores in Pasquo and Bush Creek, as well as Una, Tennessee.[3]
