Back to Gager and Ascenith (Tracy) Smith, they also migrated to Whitestown, Oneida Co., NY and stayed there for a few years. In 1806 Seth Tracy advised and requested Gager and Ascenith to come to Mesopotamia with him. Gager and Ascenith had a big farm in Mesopotamia and on it still stands the Smith cemetery where Gager and Ascenith and other family members are buried. I visited this cemetery last year (2006) and was surprised to see the toll time has taken on it. It sits back in a corn field, now there is a rough road back to it. It has a stone fence around it, some old metal fencing in places and a lonesome pine tree. Gager Smith died in 1839 and is possibly the oldest marker in it.
