Smith Family Record Transciption

After examining the paper, with the help of magnification and light, the following represents my best efforts as to deciphering what it contains:

“Family Record
                                                      1826
R C Smith Was Born Febuary 1, 1821
Jane Newman Was Born Aprile 12, 1836
R C Smith Was Meriid to Jane Newman September 18, 1855
___reta Smith Was Born March 30, 1857
Susan M Smith Was Born March 13, 1861
_vey N Smith Was Born Aprile 10, 1863
Uriah Smith Was Born Febuary 26, 1869
Andrew Pery Smith Was Born May 17, 1871
Flora F Smith Was Born October 20, 1873
Archa G Smith Was Born July 20, 1877

Deaths Henneta Smith Departed this Life November 16, 1857
Death R C Smith Departed this life April 11, 1888
Death Madora Ferrel Died March 19, 1900
Uriah Smith died July 4, 1934"

Here is what I think the information means:

Robert Cade Smith was born February 1, 1821
Jane Ann Newman was born April 12, 1836
Robert Cade Smith was married to Jane Ann Newman September 18, 1855
Henrietta Smith was born March 30, 1857
Susan Madora Smith was born March 13, 1861
Ira Newman Smith was born April 10, 1863
Uriah Robert Smith was born February 26, 1869
Andrew Perry Smith was born May 17, 1871
Flora A Smith was born October 20, 1873
Archie Greenville Smith was born July 20, 1877

Henrietta Smith died November 16, 1857
Robert Cade Smith died April 11, 1888
Susan Madora Smith died March 19, 1900
Uriah Robert Smith died July 4, 1934

I noticed the 1826 lightly floating over the top of R C Smith's birthdate of 1821.  More on this later....
