I don't have any of them listed with Joseph's kids. My SMITH line starts with Rutha SMITH. Her parents were Henry SMITH and Keziah/Kesiah EDWARDS. He was born in VA (poss. Franklin Co.) in 1798. She was born in Tyrrell Co., NC in 1807. Henry and a possible brother, Powell, settled in St. Clair Co. about 1820. We know that Powell was born in Franklin Co., VA in 1801. I think it is more than a coincidence that one of Henry's Children was named Powell. So, a very good chance that the men were brothers, but so far not proof. This SMITH line has been a brickwall for me. It would be interesting to know if this earlier CARR-SMITH connection is connected to my later CARR-SMITH family! Other names I have for Joesph's kid's spouses are: SHOBE, SHORT, BOND, GARRISON, and ARNETT. Susan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
