Hello Janis! I do have a couple of John Trotters but none that match up with your info. Looking at my file, the only Trotter I have in Wayne County is William Joseph Trotter B:1760 D:March 18,1830 in Wayne County. He was married to Sarah King and together they had 12 children: Charles Otis Susanna Elisha B James F George Mary Thomas Archibald (My ancestor) Isham Robert Shirley Jasper Rebecca William I do have an Alice Davis 1862-1917 who married a Charles Smith from Wayne County though. William Condyth Davis and Jane Warfield are her parents. Any tie in there to your Davis line? Minniesoda

Minniesoda and Janis I have info on the Smith and Trotter lines. If you send me what you are looking for I might be able to help. Minniesoda, a few weeks ago there was someone posting about John R. Smith. Did you see that post email? If not, I'll send you a copy and look for the person that sent it. He has several good questions on John R. Smith and families. Janis, send me info you are looking for on your Trotter. IF I have it tied to this Smith line, I'll send email to both of you. Thanks!
