Looking for information on David Richard Smart (also known as D.R. Smart). He was my gg grandfather. He was born in Virginia in 1831, served in Company B of the 51st Va. infantry in the Civil. He married Nancy Jane Thompson in 1864. They ended up in Southern Ill. They had the following children: John William Smart James Wiley Smart Mary Lee Smart who married Frances N. Veach in Johnson Co. 7/09/1898 Henry Clayborn Smart who married India Sharp in Johnson Co. 10/02/1898 Floyd J. Smart Dallas Marion Smart David Tildon Smart George Huston Smart Thomas Edward Smart who married Nellie Bergen Grant in Vienna Ill. 8/20/1890 Mentoria Elizabeth Smart who married Joseph Walter Bateman in simpson Illinois 3/19/1911 Aliminta Texas Smart who married Henry Waters in southern Ill. We know that the family was in Johnson county in 1900 but that David Richard had killed himself by then. We believe that he died in 1890 or 91. We are trying to find information on his parents and siblings if any. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Sue Cline

I am related to Henry Waters and grew up visiting in their home. Please email me at [email protected] I have sent your email to one of their four grandchildren and my aunt, who is Henry's niece. My mother was a Waters. Her father and Henry were first cousins.
