Peggy Don't you just wonder about that Hensley Smith line (George Franklin Smith, etc.) and the fact that they are right there with my families? Wonder what Smith family that my Tom Smith came from? He dances around so many in the area. I had thought that with him (possibly?) living next door to this family in 1880 - that this was his widowed mother and he was farmed out to the neighbor? 1880 Census Place: Union, Baxter, Arkansas Source: FHL Film 1254038 National Archives Film T9-0038 Page 248C Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Martha SMITH Self F W W 50 AR Occ: Keeping House Fa: --- Mo: --- Sarah SMITH Dau F S W 17 AR Fa: --- Mo: --- William T.

I did find marriages that were interconnected with Tom's family - for instance the Callaways. (Tom's son; Lewis was married to Ethel Callaway - daughter of Walter Allen Callaway and Rebecca Isabelle "Belle" Phaby) But, could not find this Martha Smith and family in 1870. However, shortly before I left for Hawai'i this last trip - Michael Condardo; while looking for some Smiths himself - came upon her in 1870 and unfortunately, Tom Smith was not her son. I do believe however, that she is connected. Tom Smith named one of his sons; William T. Smith. He is one of my grandfather's brothers that was married to May Cockrum. Maybe an aunt to him? 22 September 1870 Independence Co., Arkansas census, Jefferson Township, Polk Bayou: SMITH, Henry T. 40 M W working on farm --/100 TN #118/125 Martha 40 F W keeping house AR John F. 12 M W works on farm AR Rebecca C. 11 F W AR Sarah J. 9 F W AR William T. 5 M W AR Reuben 2 M W AR Melvina 2 F W AR Have you ever run across this Henry T.

Sarah FRANKS is daughter of Nancy Lavina YOUNG (1837, Benton County, AL - 30 June 1920, Norfork, Baxter, AR) and Henry C. FRANKS (27 May 1844 - 1878, Big Flat, Baxter, AR).

For instance, just looking for this "Rance" SPENCER and found some SMITH siblings (Lou Ann that married Thomas Edward KNIGHT; Daisy, Albert, Lee) in household of their sister, Georgia, and her husband, William B. LACK, in Big Creek Township, Marion County, Arkansas 1900 census. Fortunately, I knew who they were, as they were shown to be siblings of William B.
