I have some abstracts pertaining to several of the families mentioned lately. If you would like I will post them as I have time. It may be some things you already have so you'll have to be patient with me because I don't have time to figure out what is "old news" and what is not. Some of the names are Tarver, Marshall Perry, Wiggins Girtman, Pryor, Smith, Parker... Too many to remember. Dawn

This may help and may not -- Bienville Parish, LA Reddick BRYAN (1793-1864), son of James BRYAN and UNK and g/s of Col. Needham BRYAN and Nancy Ann SMITH of Bertie County, NC, died in Bienville Parish, LA. Nancy was the d/o John SMITH and Elizabeth WHITFIELD of Smithfield, Johnston County, North Carolina. Hartwell HARRISON of Edgefield, SC who married Mary Ann KEY (b. aBT 1801), the d/o Capt. Henry KEY, Jr. and Phoebe TALBOT also died in Bienville Parish, LA. Note also: Gen. Hartwell Harrison TARVER (1784-1840) lived in Twiggs and was a son of Andrew Etheldred TARVER and Elizabeth HARTWELL and g/s of John TARVER and Elizabeth JORDAN. Where in the world have I heard the Etheldred name before? <grin> Also, please remember the JORDAN connection from a previous post? Same bunch.... Gen. TARVER when he died in 1840 was listed as being the richest man in GAWGA. He married a WIMBERLEY, d/o Ezekiel, as his second wife, and I do not know who his first wife was. I can also tell you who the richest man in GA was a generation or so later, Hardy BRYAN (1797-1859) of Melrose Plantation, Thomas County, GA. Also remember some other names in all of this -- the PIERCES. How about Reddick and Lovick PIERCE, as well as the CANNONS, CASONS and CALLAWAYS. Throw in the LAMARS and WALTONS and you have most of the First Families of GAWGA in one paragraph...... <grin> John R.

Jim, I think they have these SMITHS all cobbled up. What I see on them makes no sense to me and I do not care how good the information seems to be. I also wonder how some have gotten their hands on wills and deeds from court houses that burned. In Jefferson there are few if any records before 1850, as I understand it. I think a lot of these are re-constructed records and not originals. In Washington you can forget it, there is nothing early, there. My problem is - I do not need information after 1850, I have all of that. I need early information and that is what is non-existent. Take for example the name of Jordan SMITH. We both know that a JORDAN was probably in his ancestry or a close collateral. Maybe some do not but I know well where the JORDANS were from, who they were tied to and how they interact with most of these other families. That is what sometimes upsets me about a lot of researchers. I can look at a set of collaterals in a certain area and say "that is possible" or "that is not possible." The reason being is these folks married over and over into the same families and they did it for generations. Take the MOYES and MOORES of Beaufort and Pitt County, NC, they supposedly followed each other for over 300 years. I feel the choice of a mate was first based on "family" and second it was based on "class" which is the reason we have so many close marriages in most of this bunch. Take for an example, if "Momma" could not find someone in the "family" for Johnny, she picked out the best choice of the same class in her extended family for her son and Johnny usually did exactly what Momma told him - he married her and they generally lived happily ever after, unlike today. One of my maternal families, the TOMLINSONS of Bulloch and Clinch County, GA, are loaded with examples of cousins marrying cousins and I do not think my paternal DANIELS were any different. Only after the CW do you start to see this tendency change and folks started marrying who they wanted to marry and by the time of WW II all of this was out the window. I thought for a long time my DANIELS were from Pitt but maybe this was not so. It was not until I found Robert DANIEL, Thomas TARVER and Noah SMITH sitting, side by side, in Greene County, NC in 1800 that I knew for sure where they came from before moving to Burke County, GA ABT 1810. The VALLOTTONS of Burke told me many years ago that Robert C. DANIEL (ABT 1765-AFT 1830) was married to a Penelope LANE but I never could confirm it until I found a 1805 deed in Wayne County, NC which listed Penny DANIEL and her husband, Robert, as heirs of Capt. Isham LANE (ABT 1730-1801) of Greene County, NC. It seems my whole bunch lived on the border of Greene and Wayne County, NC and descendants say these LANES say they migrated there from Edgecombe. I do not know where Robert DANIEL came from because Greene County, NC is a burned over county, like Burke, Jefferson and Washington County, GA The RAIFORDS are probably related to the RAIFORDS of Edgefield but Lt. John RAIFORD RS-NC (1758-1812) and Rebecca SPELL were their ancestors. I cannot put my finger on the MARSHALLS and where they came from because I do not find them around the DANIELS or LANES in Greene or Wayne County, NC in the years before 1810. According to my information the RAIFORDS were from New Bern, Craven County, NC. John and Rebecca had four children that I know of - Lucy RAIFORD married Joseph MARSHALL, Jr as his first wife, William Hamilton "Ham" RAIFORD, Esq. married a Mary WELCH, Robert RAIFORD married a WATSON and I do not know who John, Jr. married. I also cannot put my finger on the PERRY family but there were PERRYS in Greene County, NC so that was probably where they were from. The key family in this overall bunch were the TARVERS. They were from Northampton County, NC, generally but like all of these other folks they had tentacles in many of these other close counties, like Edgecombe, Greene, Wayne, etc. Samuel TARVER III (1739-1802) was married to Celia JORDAN (1739-1819) and anytime I see the Celia name, I know generally about where it came from. The Thomas I find in Greene County, NC I believe to be his brother, Thomas TARVER born ABT 1740. Their mother was a DAVIS, another name we see all around this bunch. Samuel and Thomas had a sister, Mary TARVER who married an Alexander BANKS, another name we see around this whole bunch. Celia Jordan TARVER was the d/o George JORDAN III and Patience WARREN of Northampton County, NC. Notice that "big WARREN" name sitting there. Anytime you see WARREN, look for WHITFIELDS, BRYANS and SMITHS because they will not be far away. In fact, Patience's sister, Chloe WARREN married Matthew WHITFIELD and guess who their daughter was -- Betsy WHITFIELD who married Capt. Aaron DANIEL RS-NC (1733-ABT 1800) The problem with Aaron and Betsy is there is no will or deed listing who their children were. So, every DANIEL and their uncle have claimed descent from Capt. Aaron and Betsy with not one shred of proof. Some have even cobbled up his first cousin, Enoch DANIEL RS-NC who married Sarah DELL, into his family but that is not so. We now know that Capt. Enoch DANIEL was a son of Capt. Robert Lanier DANIEL (1718-1794) and UNK of Pitt. Anytime you take an extended family of the same name, whether they be DANIEL or SMITH and you have a bunch of first cousins operating in the same general area in the same time frame it is real easy to say they were brothers and not cousins of some variety. To see the connections in most of these families, all you need to do is look at the marriage of the children of George JORDAN III. They are a key family. Celia married Samuel TARVER, III, Elizabeth married John TARVER, Hannah married Thomas VINSON, Nancy married Francis Richard FLANDERS, Josiah married Judith HILL (d/o Abraham HILL and Judith HINTON) and Benjamin married an Elizabeth HARVEY. These are all eastern NC families, primarily Northampton, whose ancestors lived in Southside, VA, primarily IOW and Surry. Worse yet, all of their chillen were first cousins and guess who they married more often than not -- first cousins. So, we have all of these first cousins and 1C1R's sitting in or around Richmond, Burke, Jefferson, Washington and Emanuel County, GA in a later time frame. My best guess on most of these families is they were originally out of Surry or IOW and then migrated to various locations in eastern NC where they would pick up a few new families in their extended family. After the RW a lot of them migrated to GA where they renewed the relationships that had begun in VA a hundred years or so, before. That's my guess and all links seem to point in that direction. The one thing I see in my bunch is the Huguenot connection in all too many of these families. We know that John LANIER and my Louis RENEAU were two of the founding settlers of Manikin Town, VA, a Huguenot settlement located south of Richmond. I think a lot of these close families of this area of GA had links to this original settlement. There was another Huguenot settlement in the French Santee area of SC, which may account for many of the links I see in my family to that area. We also know that Huguenot meant Presbyterian and Oglethorpe University in Milledgeville, GA was an extension of Princeton University in NJ, another Presbyterian institution. I am not fully convinced my DANIEL bunch were not from somewhere along the Atlantic Seaboard - Somerset County, MD or maybe along the NJ coastline. They may have even been VA folks that moved north from VA and then south after the RW, along the same path south as the CALLAWAYS, who are collateral with my bunch. . They could have also been McDANIEL, McDONALD, DONNELL or some other name at an earlier point but what I do know is where ever they went, they went there with more than pocket change in their pockets and made the best of what the situation offered.

Hi, John and Linda, I firmly believe that Caroline, wife of Allen S.B. Pior was the daughter of Sarah Smith. As in the marriage contract of Sarah Smith and Travis Gwilliams (this is the way that his name is written several times), Sarah leaves 1/2 of all her property to Caroline Pior, wife of Allen S.B. Pior and her children at Sarah's death. Her estate is quite large, having 17 slaves, 546 acres of land next to Augustus C. Baldwin, Samuel Dowse and others, plus 7 head of horses and mules, and plantation tools, etc. The Marriage Contract is signed by Sarah Smith, Travis Gwilliams, Allen S.B. Pior and delivered in presence of Moses Walker, Noah Smith, Elam B. Lewis J.P. Recorded 5th November 1845. Have you even seen Caroline as a daughter listed of Sarah? Now, Allen and Caroline's first son was names Benjamin Franklin Pior (my husband's 2nd great grandfather), and then my husband's grandfather was named Herbert TRAVIS Pior. The names tie in, don't they? Do you think that Noah is a brother of Sarah? Caroline and Allen are in Jefferson County in 1850 census, then evidently head to Bienville, Louisiana and sometime Caroline dies, and Allen remarries in 1854. Do appreciate all the information, and perhaps the blank spots will fill in. Martha

John, I didn't find any Whitfield, Bryan, Burgamy, Marshall, Quinney, or Moye families in my Smith database. Where does the Raiford's come in? I show a son of Ann and Thomas R. Wood that is named James Raiford Wood (other children: Ann, Sarah, Thomas and Nancy, but no John). Brantley's are all over my Smith and other related lines. In fact, I have two direct links to this same Brantley family. The Henry line into my Smith line is very weak for documentation. Colby is said to have married Rebecca Anna Henry, daughter of Micajah and Rebecca Henry. Do not know who Colsby Smith's parents are. Some say Thomas Smith and Anita Colby but as far as I know, nobody has any proof. Jimbo ----- Original Message ----- From: "John R.

Do you have any more information on the Thompson family? Much appreciated.. June

Linda, Bible records are great only when they do not conflict with civil records. Civil records always trump Bible records because a lot of information in family bibles was put there may years after the fact often by folks who could not find their way home from the grocery store with a map. <grin> In 1820 Rev. Jordan SMITH was living right next to Joseph MARSHALL, Sr.(ABT 1760-AFT 1820) in Jefferson County, GA. My bet is Mrs. Ann MARSHALL (ABT 1770-1845) was a SMITH, probably Jordan's sister or cousin. Or, at least, someone out of this close bunch. I also know that Jordan is a family name all over this bunch, which includes the DANIELS, TARVERS and the rest of this close bunch in Burke, Jefferson and Emanuel County, GA. In 1845, my GGU, James Lane DANIEL (1814-1857) and his second wife, Ann PERRY (1809-1861) were the executors of the estate of this same, Ann MARSHALL. One of the legatees was Hinson QUINNEY who married Mahala Abigail MARSHALL, s/o Joseph MARSHALL, Jr. and Sarah GIBSON. AFT 1850, John PERRY (1799-1863), who I think was married to Martha PARTIN as his first wife, married Nancy QUINNEY, d/o Hinson and Mahala. In fact, Joseph MARSHALL, Jr. (1785-1852) and Sarah lived right next to my GGF, Robert W. DANIEL (1809-1865) in Jefferson County, GA in 1850. All of this bunch was close and it included the WOODS, RAIFORDS, GIBSONS, TARVERS, INGRAMS, FULGUMS and GORDONS, as well as the DANIELS, PERRYS and SMITHS. Since your Nash County, NC was formed from Edgecombe and a lot, if not most, of these folks were from Edgecombe, originally, then they is a good possibility they were related. However, I always go with the accuracy of civil records and not bible records unless there is compelling evidence to the contrary and in this case there is not. What I think has happened in not only this family but lots of families in Burke, Jefferson and Washington County, GA is -- early researchers in their haste to write their family histories cobbled these various families into something that makes no sense. They may have made sense back then when we did not have other information available to us, but not today. I think the 1843 will of Etheldred SMITH is pretty convincing proof of who Jordan's father was. All of this flows back to Green County, NC where the proof is also that Noah and Etheldred SMITH were related and of Noah's connection to my Robert C. DANIEL - they lived side by side in 1800 in Green County, NC and Etheldred and Noah are mentioned in more than several deeds and court orders with each other. However, I will not tell anyone what they should believe about their family but unless there is compelling proof to the contrary, Noah SMITH, Sr. and Rev. Jordan SMITH were brothers and children of Etheldred SMITH, as this 1843 Jefferson County, GA will indicates. I also suspect there was an earlier TARVER connection, since Etheldred was also a big given name in the TARVER family. The TARVERS were from Northampton County, NC and before that, Surry County, VA, all of which fits in with most of this bunch, even the GAINERS who were from Petersburg, Surry County, VA. I also have nothing else that even gives me a glimmer they were not siblings and all indications is they were. John R. Clarke Thomasville, GA ----- Original Message ----- From: LINDAL34@aol.com To: jclarke@rose.net Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 9:48 AM Subject: Smith We might find the solution to these Smith connections by tracing Benjamin or Benjamin A. Smith back from his death in Nash County,North Carolina, July 29, 1799. He left two excellent Bible records, one came down to a genealogist in Americus, Georgia (now deceased) and another, through Rev. Jordan Smith and his wife, Mary Gainer Smith. The first Bible record lists Benjamin and his wife Mary Thomas' births and deaths and the births of their children. The second record has some Gainer information as well as Smith, listing the Parents of Mary Gainer. I haven't really had time to do much research on this line for about 10 years, and certainly none since the coming of the Internet to genealogy (or genealogy to the Internet)! The Rev. Jordan Smith of Jefferson county's tombstone shows his birth date to be the same as the Jordan Smith who was the son of Benjamin Smith of Nash County. There was more than one Jordan Smith in North Carolina and more than one Briton or Britain. Most of the researchers of these Smith families seem to think that Benjamin Smith was an immigrant. However, there seems to have been unusual given names common to this family in very early days of North Carolina up around Scotland Neck. If you ever find a link from Noah to Benjamin I would love to hear of it. Oh. Also, There hopefully still exists a book in the Huxford Library in Homerville, Georgia called The Very Early Smiths of Georgia By Dixie Hammond's. The possibility is very good that there is information in that book that might tie these families together. I don't know of the existence of this book anywhere else but there must be other places where it might be found. I live in south Florida and don't have many ties to the South Georgia area anymore so I don't get up there much anymore. Now you have my curiosity up and I would love to check it all out but I am tied (firmly down)! to my two very aged parents who live with me now for the time being. Linda Luther (5 gr granddaughter of Benjamin Smith and Mary Thomas Smith) (3 gr granddaughter of Jordan Smith (nephew of the Rev Jordan Smith) and Temperance Gainer Smith (sister of Mary Gainer who married Rev Jordan).

Margie, The THOMPSON I really look at around this bunch is Capt. Reuben THOMPSON RS-NC (1765-1855) who married Rachel CHAMBERS. Rachel is a big name around a lot of my bunch. These THOMPSONS lived in Emanuel County, GA. I do not have a Mary in this THOMPSON bunch but I have a Sarah who married Rev. Jordan FLANDERS of Emanuel County, GA. I also know that Jordan was clerk in Emanuel County, GA, a position recently vacated Rev. Elijah Hosea CALLAWAY who moved to Jackson County, FL. My friend, Mrs. Lucy GRAY of Pensacola, FL is a descendant of this CALLAWAY family because Rev. CALLAWAY's daughter, Sarah Ann Caroline CALLAWAY, married Josiah DANIEL (1804-1853) of Campbellton, Jackson County, FL. Josiah was the son of a William DANIEL and a Betsy WATTS, d/o John WATTS. As for the HADDENS, I only carry one HADDEN. Margaret Ann HADDEN (1807-1858) married Beniah Stiles CARSWELL (1806-1868). I do not know who Margaret's parents were. I also have the will of Ann Perry DANIEL (1807-1861) and in this will she says her sister, Maria, married a HARDON. I have often wondered if this HARDON was HADDEN. Ann's husband, James Lane DANIEL (1814-1857) was a younger brother of my GGF, Robert W. DANIEL of Bethany, GA. James married Ann BEF 1845 after the death of his first wife, Mary MURPHEY about 1840. Ann raised James and Mary's daughter, Nancy Collins DANIEL who married Timothy DONOVAN, also of Bethany. Ann's brother, John PERRY (1799-1863) married, I think, Martha PARTIN of Crawford County, GA. After her death ABT 1850, he married Nancy QUINNEY, d/o Hinson QUINNEY and Martha Abigail MARSHALL, also of Jefferson County, GA. I do know that Martha and John had one daughter, Ann Catherine PERRY b. ABt 1830 and she married a Washington BEACHAM of Roberta, Crawford County, GA. I know a BEAUCHAMP, often spelled BEACHAM, married into a PIERCE family in MS and this PIERCE family ties right back into my family in Morgan County, GA. I do not know where the PERRYS were from other than NC but if they are like the DANIELS I would look in the Edgecombe, Johnston, Dobbs or Green County, NC area. My GGF, Robert W. DANIEL also married Julia FLORENCE on 25 May 1841, according to Richmond County, GA marriage records. I do not believe she was a FLORENCE or FLOURANCE but quite possibly a FLOURNOY or FLANDERS, because both of these families are close to my bunch. The girl I have really looked at was Elizabeth Julia FLOURNOY who was born 25 May 1851. Notice the DOB for this FLOURNOY girl because it is the same as the date RWD married her in Jefferson County, GA. Also interesting is this Elizabeth Julia FLOURNOY supposedly was married before and had several minor children and this may be the reason for the double marriage bond required when RWD married her in 1841. Normally a double marriage bond was not required. I also know her father, Robert Watkins FLOURNOY, Sr. was in the area and her brother was an attorney over in Sandersville, Washington County, GA. I can also see why the name, FLOURNOY, was cobbled up by clerks in Richmond County, GA to FLORENCE. The other possibility is he married a FLANDERS in 1841 because this family was close to the DANIELS. John R.

Hi, I have some very interesting links in all of this. Jordan and Brittan are given names in lots of families that float out of eastern NC into GA and later, MS. A Gideon SMITH married a Sarah LANE and I do not know who the parents were of Sarah. What I have on their children is listed below but I do not know how accurate it is. Gideon was born in Johnston County, NC ABT 1763 and died in Amite County, MS in 1811. I also know some of the TARVERS went to Amite County, MS so this smells to be part of the same overall family. This Gideon SMITH bunch ties right back to the WHITFIELDS of Smithfield, Johnston County, North Carolina. because Gideon's grandfather John SMITH II married Elizabeth WHITFIELD, d/o Matthew WHITFIELD II and Pricilla Ann LAWRENCE of Bertie County, North Carolina. There are three families that I call the Three Musketeers of Eastern NC. They are the WHITFIELDS, the SMITHS and the BRYANS. My 2nd GGF was Robert C. DANIEL (ABT 1765-AFT 1830) of Green County, NC, later of Burke County, GA. He married Penelope LANE (1773-1846), d/o Capt. Isham LANE (ABt 1730-1801) and, I think, a BRYAN. Regardless, they had a son, Bryan LANE. Bryan b. ABT 1752 in Dobbs County, NC married a THOMPSON. I also think Isham and Levin LANE of Jones County, NC were either brothers or first cousins, brothers I think and they probably married sisters. I also feel a BEASLEY family is in this equation, too, since a Bryan BEASLEY was part of a joint-stock company headed by my GGF, Robert W. DANIEL (1809-1865) of Jefferson County, GA in the 1850's, along with others that I know were "family." .Robert Williams DANIEL was a son of Robert C. and Penelope Lane DANIEL of Burke County, GA, formerly of Green County, NC. They moved to Burke in 1812 from Green. For those of you who know NC history, Johnston County was the parent county of Green so this all matches. I also know that Etheldred SMITH and his son, Noah SMITH, Sr., as well as Noah's brother, Jordan SMITH, also followed or led the DANIELS to the Richmond County, GA area. This whole bunch points back into the IOW/Surry County, VA area and it looks like these relationships were of long standing. I think the LANES were out of the LANE and ISHAM connections in VA. The probably tie into the LANIERS and their connections as well as other early families in the Chowan County, NC area. I cannot tell you who the father of Robert C. DANIEL was nor confirm who the parents of Capt. Isham LANE were but we know the LANES were of Edgecombe and before that, probably Surry are of VA. Regardless, I think RCD was related to the DANIELS in Northampton, Edgecombe, Tyrrell and Pitt County, NC. <<< Children Sarah SMITH b: 13 Mar 1793 in Hawkins County, Tenn.

Martha, That information sounds right, based upon what I know about this SMITH bunch. I will correct Noah's first marriage to a PRIOR. What I did not tell you is there are PRIORS in Madison, Morgan County, GA that are close to my DANIEL-RICHTER bunch in Madison. Are any of these folks, yours? They are not collateral, just close but close enough to be family of an extended variety. To show you how this all fits in, my grandmother was Alice E. DANIEL (1854-1924) who married John C. RICHTER, Sr. (1848-1907) of Madison, GA in 1872 in Madison. The RICHTERS were one of the First Families of Madison and a prominent family of that city. My grandparents were married in Madison by Dr. David WILLS, President of Oglethorpe University, then located in Milledgeville. Alice was the d/o Robert Williams DANIEL, Esq. (1809-1865) of Bethany, Jefferson County, GA, now Wadley, and his 4th wife, Mary Jane RENEAU (1830-1912), d/o Rev. Russell RENEAU and Elizabeth STOCKTON, then of Oxford, Newton County, GA. Rev. RENEAU was a Presiding Elder in the GA and AR Conferences of the ME Church. Robert W. DANIEL married Mary Jane RENEAU in 1852 in Jefferson County, GA and the marriage was probably performed by Rev. RENEAU. Robert DANIEL went by the name, R. W. DANIEL in most instances. He was born in Green County, NC and Mary Jane in Jefferson County, TN. I am sure this PRIOR family in Madison was the same PRIOR family tied to the WALTONS, another RICHTER collateral. The WALTONS were from Greeneville County, VA. David Wyche WALTON b. 1790, the son of David WALTON and Rebecca WYCHE. This whole WALTON bunch goes back to the Hon. Isaac Rowe WALTON of Brunswick County, VA. And this bunch bounces in two ways. You might want to throw the FITZPATRICKS, WYCHES, WALTONS, REIDS all together in all of this in Madison. There is a connection, and I do not know what it is, between the LAMARS and BIRDS of Milledgeville and my DANIEL bunch. We know the BRYANS are probably part of my LANE bunch Dobbs, later Green, and I think my Capt. Isham LANE (ABT 1730-1801) RS-NC of Green County, NC was a brother of Levin LANE of Jones County, NC. His daughter, Penelope (1773-1846), was the mother of my GGF, R. W. DANIEL. In 1860, Noah SMITH, Jr. was one of the richest men in Jefferson County, GA. All of this bunch had money to burn. RWD was worth close to 20K and all of his siblings were of about the same wealth. I also think RWD's daughter, Julia R. DANIEL born about 1842, married one of Noah's boys. At least, I feel this was Noah SMITH, Jr. He and his wife, Wylanty WAY, Julia R. DANIEL and her husband, an L. C. SMITH, and RWD lived side-by-side in 1860. I think this whole bunch moved from what was once Dobbs (then Green) County, NC to Burke County, GA and then, later, to Jefferson County, GA. I also think they married close and kept it close even in later years but their marriages may have been more of class in later years than family. My guess is the main links in this overall family begin in IOW or Surry, move to Edgecombe and then Dobbs and then to Burke and Jefferson County, GA. At least, this is the pattern I am seeing.....

A section of Old Quaker Road is still in use near Wrens, GA. It branches off to the right off Hwy 80 NW of Wrens. It crosses Hwy 17, US Hwy 1, and Hwy 88 where it turns to dirt. It terminates at Campground road near Stellaville. MapQuest shows it continuing to reconnect to Hwy 80, but it doesn't. There may be other sections that I am not aware of. I have heard the term "Steep Hollow," but I don't know where it is.

Hi Folks, My ggg-grandfather was Harbord (var. sp.) SMITH who married Sarah DUPREE in Jefferson County.. On the 1820 Jefferson County census, Harbord and Sarah have five sons and live two numbers down from Herod Dupree. On the other side of Harbord are Sarah Smith (mother?), Burnet Smith (brother?) and a couple of COOK families. Harbord left Sarah after their seventh son was born and ran off with a Cook woman. Sarah and the Duprees moved on to Talbot and then Sumter Counties. According to later census information (from son, Thomas), both Harbord Smith and Sarah Dupree were born in VA. Other surnames on the Jefferson County 1820 census that I am researching include SANDEFUR and TRULUCK. Both surnames have various spellings. Mitzi
