She was born in 1925 and was dead by 1960. All I ever knew of her were her funeral pictures that my grandmother had. I believe uncle Al was indeed disabled though I don't know how.

He was in his 50's when he died in the 1970's. If she was born around the same time and then died twenty years earlier she would not have been on the Soc. Security rolls. In fact, he must have had some disability because he too was too young to be a regular Soc. Security recipient.

But here's what's weird: The Ancestry.com database failed to alert me to Alric Smith until after I'd entered your info. Obviously, I didn't have his date-of-death until I got it from you but I'd queried the SSDI database multiple times for an Alric Smith who died Knox Co. KY during the early 70's and it found nothing. I've found lots of SSDI records before without having the exact date-of-death but, for some reason, this time nothing. I even knew the approximate year. I last saw uncle Alric in 1969 when I was a little boy and I knew he was dead by 1973. I just don't understand why I was unable to retrieve his SSDI record. His wife Anna Mae Christian-Smith may be more difficult because she died, I believe, in the late 50s and the SSDI index is less complete in that time frame. Uncle Al had to raise the boys pretty much by himself and he never remarried. Okay, I know, I'm rambling--sorry. But I want to thank you for your assistance. Keep my email address and feel free to contact me if there is ever any way I can return the favor. --Wayne Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

His wife, Mollie, was a GRAY. Have not yet found their wedding record; however, Elijah SMITH was married at least once prior to his marriage to Mollie GRAY which you can see from the census. I have always been "sort of" interested in "an" Elijah SMITH for a couple of reasons. For example, on the 1880 Knox Co. there is this listing: Dwelling 446-449 HOPKINS, Melvina, 35, head, single, b. VA; father b. VA; mother b. TN (actually Lavina/Melvina/Viney was born in Hancock Co., TN) . .Sarah J., 8, dau, b. KY . .Nancy, 6, dau, b. KY . .Martha, 2, dau, b. KY SMITH, Elijah, 30, farms, boarder, divorced, b. KY; parents b. KY NOTE: This Viney/Melvina HOPKINS had a long-term relationship with my g-grandfather's youngest brother, Alexander William TAYLOR. They had something like 9-10 children together in a commonlaw relationship. He generally shows up with their sons and she with their daughters the way it is here. If this Elijah SMITH is the one you are seeking, then he would have been abt. 10 years older than the latter census records show. On the one side of Melvina HOPKINS is Dwelling 444-447 which is Franklin GAMBREL, 70 with wife, Rosanner, 68 and they have a Melvina SMITH, age 28, at home and a cousin living with them. Don't know if this Melvina SMITH is a sister or other relative to the Elijah SMITH, age 30 with Melvina HOPKINS. On the other side of Melvina HOPKINS is Dwelling 447-450 which is Larkin HUBBARD who was married to Sarah A. MERIDA-MEREDITH. This is the daughter of Mahala TAYLOR, b. 1822 who was married to Bradley MEREDITH and lived in Clay Co. They show up as: HUBBARD, Larken, 33, head, b. KY (married in 1865 in Knox) . .Sarah A., 34, wife, b. KY; father b. VA; mother b. KY . .Cathern, 12, at home, dau, b. KY . .James F., 10, farms, son, b. KY . .Bradly, 8, son, b. KY (named after her father) . .Elijah, 5, son, b. KY (possibly named after one of her mother, Mahala TAYLOR GAMBREL MEREDITH SMITH's later husbands, "an" Elijah SMITH) . .Amanda, 2, dau, b. KY . .John, 3 months, son, b. KY Basically my whole TAYLOR and associated family are living all around in this area of Stinking Creek. The other family connection is that at some point (I have no marriage record)my g-grandfather (Harrison TAYLOR, b. 1836; d. 1904)'s older sister, Mahala TAYLOR was married around 1871-1875 to "an" Elijah SMITH. My gg-grandfather, Cornelius Alexander TAYLOR b. 1794; d. 1874 died and when his properties were divided up there is a record of the sons and daugthers signing off on deed transfers. For Mahala who was already widowed from Bradley MEREDITH, she shows up as: Mahala SMITH Elijah SMITH I have never known where there was some older Elijah SMITH that she married and perhaps he died or they divorced or. . . if it was actually possible that Mahala b. 1822 and the Elijah SMITH b. abt. 1850 married and divorced. >From the census records for Knox Co., KY: 1900 Knox Co., KY Dwelling 180-179 SMITH, Elijah, head, b. 1-1867, 33, mar. 3 yrs, b.

At least I now know more than I did before, thanks to you. And your information may have given me the names of his parents as well. With a birthdate of abt. 1912 he is almost certainly an Alric Smith that I found born 1912 over in Dickenson Co. VA. Unlikely that there were two Smiths named "Alric" with the same birth year. Also, I tracked several of those Dickenson Co Smiths to guess where?.....Knox Co. KY. So that birth record you shared with me is solid confirmation. Thank you!

I'm just going to have to put this on the back-burner for awhile. While I posted his name as "Alvie", my mother now insists it was "Alric". He would certainly have been born in the 1912-1925 time frame though I'm uncertain if his birth was in Virginia or Kentucky. He would have married Anna Mae Christian at some point after 1943 (perhaps his second marriage)and they had three male children. All I can remember is that my "uncle Al" had always lived in Barbourville in Knox Co. Looks like Al/Alvie/Alric will remain a brick wall for some time to come.

It looks to me that Mellie SMITH possibly married an ARNETT and had Fairlender and then divorced him. Then maybe when she was single she had Alva G.
