Joseph Smith & Soleta Hearn also had a son, Winfield Scott Smith, born 8/15/1886 in Clay Co, AL (I am told that he was called "Scott"). He married Iduma Silas, born 7/11/1885 in Clay Co, AL, on 8/1/1905. Winfield died on 3/28/1965 & Iduma on 2/4/1968, both at Telfair County Hospital, Telfair Co, GA. They had a son (among others), Andrew Jackson Smith on 4/2/1918. This is my father's father. I have found the information on the Hearn line that you were speaking of. However, I have not yet been able to find anything on Nancy Short's line, or on Joseph Smith's line. Wasn't Nancy Short the mother of Soleta & the wife of James Hearne? Or was she the mother of Joseph Smith & the wife of Daniel Sydney Smith? Thank you so much for all your help!
