This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xV.2ADE/524 Message Board Post: I am searching (in vain it seems) for the invisible Andrew J. Smith. I do know he was in Carroll County ( Jefferson Township) in the 1860's- then it became Boone County around 1870. He was married to Hepsebeth Jane Crain abt 1870 and they had 3 children, Thomas Andrew and Ruthey M.,the third one is unknown to me. I do know he was in Arkansas until 1902 but then he disappears ( probably passed away) and I haven't been able to find him since. The 1900 census for Boone County, shows him , his wife and Ruthey in Jefferson Township, the last known documentation of him that I have found is a land sale in 1902. The next imfo that I have found is the 1910 census for Bryan County ,Oklahoma. It lists Thomas as head of household with his wife, mother Jane and sister Ruthey but nothing on Andrew. The 1900 census lists Andrew as being born abt 1823 in Kentucky and Andrew's father being born in Virginia and his mother born in North Carolina. PLEASE, I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP ON THIS ONE---! its been haunting me for years and i can't seem to get any info on him or past him . Thanks for any help and I will share any info I have. You can also look at my website at: www.geocities.com/mr_fixit_11/SMITH.html (it is case sensitive). If you would like to add a link on my website please email me. Thanks Again, Ed.
