Located about a hundred yards from the site of the bridge, this memorial stands at the site of the homestead of Captain William Smith, who was one of the militiamen defending the bridge. The memorial pays tribute to Captain Smith and the others who fought at the Battle of Quinton's Bridge. [2]

Captain Smith's farmland extended to the south. He is buried in a small cemetery on part of what was his farmland, about three miles down Jericho Road, along with men who died at the Battle of Quinton's Bridge. (See next entry.)
