Meridith; The Smith Kellum that was the brother to Henry Kellum was my 4th great grandfather and he was married to Polly PARKER Kellum. Do you have any proof that Henry and Smith Kellum were brothers and do you know Henry's Parents. JK =========================================================== Hi, No I do not have any proof other than Henry named his youngest son Smith, supposedly after brother. They were both in Wake co NC I cannot find reference but in 1795 (not sure date) Smith was handling estae sale of a slave in either Wake or Chatham Co. NC. Also he later moved to Davidson co Tn. My 3rd ggf, John Douglass married Sally (Sarah Bell) Kellum, Henry's dau in Davidson co Tn in 1806 and then in 1819 John & Sally & family, her sister MaryAnn (Polly) Kellum & husband Joselyn & John's older parents and young Smith Kellukm (21 then) all moved by keelboat to Pulaski Co. Arkansas. I have Henry's will mentions children, Mary, Nancy, Lovey, John & Smith. wife Martha & eldest son William in charge of will. Written 7 May 1799 A report says he was mauled by bear & died as result. It is a short and simple will and probably written just before his death. That is it, Meredith Gibson
