Smyth was born in 1830 in Inch, County Cork, Ireland to Jonas Smyth and his wife Mary (née Capel) and educated at Riordan's Classical School, Cloyne.[1] When he was around 31 years of age he travelled to Queensland and, in conjunction with Thomas McIlwraith, managed several properties.[2] He later became a Company director of the Darling Downs and Western Land Co and the Queensland Investment and Land Mortgage Co.[1]
Appointed to the Queensland Legislative Council in May 1882, Smyth served for twenty-eight years before resigning in July 1910.[1] Smyth died in 1914 and was buried in Toowong Cemetery.[2][3]
