Hello, Bernie! First, looked at a genealogy report on Harvey Alexander SMITH and have about 26 pages. I really need your address, because I already have a "stack" of mail for you. Perhaps it'll be there when you return after your trip to "mainland." Also -- need any information on Heritage subscription. I live ten miles from the National Archives in Fort Worth -- but never seem to make it there -- still hope to (some day). I'll add some items to your post (below). I began checking into this family because of the FINLEY connection -- then discovered PITCHFORD / BAGWELL / ROBERTSON and others from Baxter area, in which I am interested.
