The name Gerrit is possibly of Dutch origin, also Peter and Smit (without the h) are Dutch names.
[edit] Anti-Dramshop Party
I've found some things which link Smith with the creation of an "anti-dramshop party" in New York in the 1840s and 1850s (which apparently played some role in the election of proto-prohibitionist Myron Clark in 1854). Could someone else confirm if this is in fact true and add it to the article? 165.230.177.141 (talk) 21:36, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
