My greatgrandmother was Sarah Rebecca Smith . She had a brother named John Smith and a sister Jennie. I don't know if they are full sibs or half or if there were more sibs.. She married J M Rackley in 1879 Johnson Co.AR.. Her marriage license states that her parents were both dead.No Names . The license was signed by JC Smith or at least it looks like JC or JG Smith. We assume that this must be a close relative to put up the marriage bond. Her death certificate states that she was born in Ga. She and James have a 5yr old Will Watson with them in the 1880 census for Johnson co. He's listed as a nephew.. There is a Dr. Elmer C SMith that is somehow related that was some kind of doctor around the Dallas,TX area.. James and Sarah and Will Watson ended up inTX for a time around Paris,TX. they both died in Messer OK just outside Hugo ,OK.. I don't know anything about JOHN or who Jenny/Ginni married or lived. Gina
