DARE has 1842, 1843, and 1859 for "right smart."
This takes us into George Thompson territory, but I haven't seen a "right smart" post from him.

("The next morning he looked at it again, and after scratching his head and ruminating a short time on the subject, he came to the conclusion that if he worked 'right smart,' he could accomplish his task in one day--so he spent that day as he had the day before." From the SCHOHARIE REPUBLICAN.)
