[https://books.google.com/books?id=tZALAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA501 Service record] from Francis B. Heitman's Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army. Heitman says that the Lieutenant Ballard Smith who served in the Revolution died on 20 March 1794, i.e. before the subject of this article served in Congress. Heitman is in error or these are two different men.
