Mrs. Bushman of Staunton, Virginia, did much of the research on many of our Augusta County, Virginia relatives. For the Smiley line she referred me to W. Bowman Cutter II of Waterford, Virginia. Excerpts from  his letter follows:

To start with, two brothers Alexander¹ and Walter ² Smiley, came to America from Ulster County, Ireland, in the early part of the 18th century.

At least one Smiley brother stayed in Ireland, but his son, another Walter Smiley, served with the British during the Revolution. He became a prisoner-of-war and when the Revolution was over looked up his uncles, Alexander and Walter, and then proceeded to marry his first cousin, Nancy Ann² Smiley, one of Walter's children. He was known as Walter Smiley, Jr.

The John² Smiley you asked about was probably the son of Alexander¹ Smiley. If so, he was an uncle of your Archibald and of Archie's brother, Walter³ Smiley."

Another Alexander Smiley of a later generation, and probably a brother to Ellen Smiley, married Deniza Clayton, a sister of Thomas and Mary Jane, on November 17, 1842. She died in childbirth at the birth of her first child in 1851. The child, a boy, died shortly afterwards. A relative wrote, "He is a fine child and very much like his mother." This young mother, who died so young, was possibly the inspiration for Ellen Smiley to name a daughter Deniza for a beloved sister-in-law in 1844.
