  Claudius Smith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Claudius was the eldest son of David Smith (1701–1787), a respected tailor, cattleman, miller, constable, and finally judge in Brookhaven, New York.
Claudius was soon captured and was hanged on January 22, 1779 in the town of Goshen, Orange County, New York.
Richard Smith is a character in Elizabeth Oakes (Prince) Smith's 1867 novel Bald Eagle; or, The Last of the Ramapaughs, which portrays Claudius's son as seeking vengeance on the people of Orange County for the killing of his father.

Smith entered the house while the family was upstairs having afternoon tea and from a cellar stall saddled the horse & rode away laughing.
