Just wanted to make the connection! My family descends from Permelia Catherine's brother jacob! Would love to share all the info I have! Am searching for more info on their sister Rebecca Hawk Smith who married a jasper Newton Smith in Walton County. Lost track of them when they move on to Atlanta after the Civil War!
