Surnames: Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ti.2ADI/515.1034.1074.2.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks for the reply. I can trace my John B. Smith back to 1840 in Fountain County, Indiana, Cain Township, but can't find him before that. The surname Smith sure isn't any help. I keep looking at the Radcliff line from England, do to the locations, names etc. but it isn't my Smith line. Thanks again Ruth.
