I know Robert W Smith was born 7/4/1843 in Virginia and that Violet Brown was born in 1843. I found Robert Smith's death record which told his father was Elijah M. Smith. Because of grave markers, I know all of their dates of birth and death. However, I could not find Violet's death record and so I have no idea who her parents were or where she was from. I also have no idea who Robert's mother was or where she was from.
