I am looking for Smiths in that area, too; my great-great aunt, LuElla DeWitz, daughter of Robert DeWitz and Cynthia Coons DeWitz, born 1900 in Appleby, Nacogdoches Co, was living with her sister, Mattie Louise DeWitz Riley and her husband, Carter Richard Riley, in the 1920s. LuElla supposedly married a Smith, and died in childbirth near Woodlake. Can anyone help me find this family?
