Bond # 391A Performed by Randolph Hall - Bapt. Could this be your John Smith? Also I believe that Francis West's father was Peyton West as it was common to name children for grandparents. If so there is a marriage for Payton West to Rebeccah Hunley, bond date 10/29/16, bondsman Charles West, consent by Mary Hunley mother of the bride, return date 10/31/1816 Bond # 1023 Performed by Randolph Hall, Bapt. There is also a John B Smith to Nancy W. Noel, bond date 1/11/1828, Bondsman Edmond Byars, consent by Zachariah (Groom's father) of Mercer County, no return date but could of got married in Mercer. bond # 1878. Hope this doesn't muddy the waters more than they are already. One other item I found: Joseph Smith, age 11 months, male, died Aug 26, 1852 of hydrocephalus. Son of Peyton and Francis Smith. Happy Hunting! Sandy
