Kaye Don't have any Smith's but I've got my share of Lee (my family and my husband's family). My Lee family came from KY into Jersey Co (when it was part of Greene Co). My husband's came from AL to southeast MO. One thing I should mention is that I'm not sure if Ruth and Boyd Pruitt had any children.
