Dianne -- In your list of names, you included a Charles SMITH -- we just recently discovered that one of my g-grandfathers' sisters married a same name -- Recorded in Fayette County as married 12 Sep 1871 Charles SMITH and Sarilda (Evans) DANLEY Shows that Charles lived with a Herm? Smith (maybe his father) Spelling of Sarilda's name varies according to source. Her father's civil war record spelled it "Cerelda". She had several children by her first husband; she (age 26) and the children (ages 7, 4, 3) lived with her parents during the 1870 census report. In 1880, the youngest child (Mary Jane Danely/Danley) was still with the grandparents. The Danley children were all born in Illinois, although she came with her parents from Indiana. Any connection with your Charles SMITH? Or anyone else -- let's talk directly?? Also, anyone doing DEPWEW, Erabell (female) listed in 1880 census with an 11-yr old son - Strother? Reason: The EVANS and NICHOLS families married and the name Strother/Strauther becomes common in both families....but is NOT a common name outside the family. The Depwew (spelling?) family was counted as next to my EVANS family. Anyone having NICHOLS - EVANS - DUNAWAY families -- would like to contact for specific names in your line. Will share my info!! DIANNE -- keep up the great work. THANKS. Looking forward to asking specific questions about my Nichols as soon as I get some marriage record copies back. Margie (Schuetz) Whitney Cocoa, FL
