Ann Eliza Smith (pen name, Mrs.
J.
Gregory Smith; October 7, 1819 – January 6, 1905) was an American author.
She was president of the board of managers for the Vermont woman's exhibit at the Centennial Exposition of 1876, at Philadelphia, and was frequently chosen in similar capacities as a representative of Vermont woman.
Her patriotic feeling was shown in the Civil War, during the rebel raid on St.
Albans on October 19, 1864.
In 1870, Governor Peter T.
Washburn, who had served as adjutant general of the Vermont Militia during the war, recognized her efforts to coordinate a response to the raid by presenting her with an honorary commission as a lieutenant colonel on his military staff.
