The Smith's were a large family and the Smith boys a little more rowdy than most and often mixed up in troublesome activities that most assuredly must have worried their momma! As they grew older they began to ride with a rough crowd. Often there would be brawls with another group of fellows from Houston County. One night the Smith Boys raided a party going on down near the Tennessee River and in the ensuing brawl a man was killed. Well, the Smith's rode home and hid out in a cave for a couple of days and their mom brought them meals. They knew a possee would form and look for them. One day a note came to the cave with their meals that told them it was time to move because if they didn't they would be caught. So in the middle of the night the entire family family packed up and moved near Oakalla in Burnet County Texas to avoid prosecution from the law. The Tennessee Lawmen never did find them and once they moved to Texas I was told they became law abiding citizens and good neighbors until their natural deaths.---- I got this story from my neighbor who lives on the old smith property. She gave me a newspaper clipping of an interview with Smith's grandson telling this story. I will be glad to scan the article to you if you would like. Have a great day!
