Born in Stamford, Connecticut in 1810 on the farm family, James William Smith became a school teacher at 17, and had a religious conversion at 19.

He studied religion for about 3 years until he became ill in 1834 and was unable to complete his studies to enter the ministry.

Turning to medicine, he attended the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, and proceeded to practice there for about five years. He applied for missionary work in 1840, and married Melicent Knapp.

The couple would provide missionary, educational and medical help to the islands for the next 45 years, and establish a family dynasty of service to Kauai.
