Notes:

Supposedly he was Native Indian, no proof of this can be found. Marriage also states he was William H, but census states William S...

Several state that Mead A Smith was William's father, but I don't think so... in 1850, Mead lives nextdoor to William, Mead is 41 and William in 24... That would make Mead 17 years old when William was born... Also, Mead has a son William, age 16 in the 1850 census... I really doubt Mead A Smith is the father to William S Smith. Could be an older brother or maybe a Uncle to William.
