My friends - I had planned to move down to Graves County for today's post, but because of having received numerous inquiries about the Smith births in the McCracken County Vital Statistics birth records that I had said, in yesterday's posting, would be forthcoming at some point, I have decided to go ahead and post those today. The *entire record* for each birth is shown below in the listing - I have no additional information on these births beyond what is given. Tomorrow, we will have a biography of a Graves County individual from one of our several resources("mug books", as they are commonly called) that we are exploring. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ McCracken County - Vital Statistics Records - Smith Births - 1852 - 1861 Smith, Ann, African-American, born 15 June 1852 in Christian Co., dau of ----- & Sophier --- Smith, ------, female, born 6 Aug 1852 in Christian Co., dau of George M.
