Jim, There are several reason I think they may be connected, not necessarily close but connected in some way. Rev. Isaac SMITH, Colby's son, married Asneath BRANTLEY and the BRANTLEYS are all over the Benjamin DANIEL and Lucretia BURGAMY family of Washington and later, Laurens County, GA. Ann Colsby SMITH married a Thomas R. WOOD and a John WOOD was listed in the 1845 will of Ann MARSHALL (ABt 1770-1845) of Jefferson County, GA. She was the widow of Joseph MARSHALL, Sr. If you have any QUINNEY, MOYE, RAIFORDS or the like around you bunch, then I would say they were probably connected. However, the HENRYS are what caught my eye. Colby SMITH was married to a HENRY and so was Col. Nathan JOHNSTON (1738-1807) of St. Peter's Parish, Beaufort County, SC. Actually Col. HENRY was not of Beaufort District, SC until later, originally he was of Pitt County, NC and the father of Col. Amos JOHNSTON (1768-1815) of Beaufort who married Elizabeth DANIEL, d/o Josiah DANIEL and Elizabeth MAY nee TISON. The noted chronicler of eastern NC families, Coy K. JOHNSTON, Esq. of Atlanta was a descendant of Col Amos and Elizabeth Daniel JOHNSTON of Danielton, Jasper County, SC. Josiah was the younger brother of Capt. Aaron DANIEL who married Elizabeth WHITFIELD, whose mother was a WARREN. Aaron's son, Benjamin DANIEL was the boy who married Lucretia BURGAMY and lived in the part of Washington County that was later cut into Laurens County, GA. There are three families out of the Craven/Dobbs area of Eastern NC that ride together like the Three Musketeers. They are the SMITHS, the WHITFIELDS and the BRYANS. If you have any of these families in your overall bunch, you can bet your boopy these SMITHS are related...... John R.

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.
