Posted on: Limestone County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Limestone/440 Surname: Smith, Todd, Lewis, Howard ------------------------- SMITH, TODD - I am looking for information about Monroe Smith of Limestone County, Alabama. He was born abt. 1869 and was married at three times. First wife was B. Howard and know he had at least two children from this marriage: Samuel Smith and Tassie Smith. 2nd wife was Mary Jane Todd (my g. grandmother). They had four children: Gussie Smith, Lula Mae Smith (b. 1899), Goldie Lee Smith(b. 1900), and Viola Smith(b. 1907). Sometime after Viola was born Mary Jane left Monroe and took their four children and caught a ferry or boat. Mary Jane's father (John Todd) met them at some point. Mary Jane ended up settling around Boaz, Alabama and remarried to a George Hooper. Lula Mae and Viola ended up marrying their step-brothers. Not much is known about Monroe. I did find him listed in the 1920 Soundex for Limestone County. Do know that his daughter Tassie did locate Viola (sometime in the in the late 1920's or early 1930's) and was arranging for Viola to go and meet him, but he died before this could happen. I am assuming he was still in Limestone County. Goldie Lee Smith (my grandmother) married Dewey Samson Brown of Walker County, Georgia on January 31, 1926 and lived the rest of her life there before passing away on July 28, 1996. Would appreciate any information about Monroe or best place to locate more info. about him or his descendents. Monroe divorced Mary Jane several years after she had left him in 1913 and remarried the same year to Okalonie Lewis. She had a few children already. Believe Monroe and Okalonie had one child together. Monroe's daughter Tassie married a Joe Lewis, believed to be Okalonie's brother.
