Sorry to create confusion. My mother bought the Lawrence Beall Smith Bible at an antique store in abt 1965. It is very old and I treasure it... but if I can find someone in that family who has adequate info to convince me that the claimed relationship is valid, I will let said person have it for the price my mother paid for it. For this reason I am not giving out any additional info at this time. I have spent time and money looking for any descendant of Lawrence Beall Smith. I have been to libraries, called funeral homes, sent for Soc Sec records, etc... all trails leading to dead-ends. The Family-Bible-L seemed a good place to make one more try. Elaine
