This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Small, Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fi.2ADE/1198.1 Message Board Post: Hi there, I am not sure if this information will help you or not, but I have a Ora and Syntha Small who lived in Howard County in that timeframe. Syntha's mother's maiden name was Smith. The names were just too much of a coincidence. They had 11 children that I know of. This is not my direct family, but they are my sister-in-law's great-grandparents. If you think these could be the same families, just let me know. I have a little bit on them plus a link to a website with lots more. Stacey [email protected]
