Junior, This helps tremendously! She wasn't born until October 1, 1862, so depending upon when the census was done, they may have put her birth year as 1863 (based on her age that was provided). She also married George Washington Smith in Georgia, so this matches up too. She wouldn't have shown up on the 1900 Census because she and George W. Smith moved to Texas in the late 1800's with my great-grandmother, Laura Zeora Smith. Laura was married (to Claude Warren Patterson) in Falls County Texas in 1905, so they were definitely already in Texas by that time. I really appreciate your help. Now, I am almost certain that this is my great-great grandmother, Alice Ann McLain Smith. Thank you!Donna Junior & Peggy McKay <jrmckay@ev1.net> wrote:Donna, hope this helps. Descendants of Thomas M.
