Surnames: Smith, Bratcher Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XBB.2ACE/1747.1.1 Message Board Post: William Smith had five children-Ambrose, Henry Wise, Leander, Seth, and Hulda. (My family records indicate nothing is known of Leander, Seth, or Hulda) My connection to the Smiths is through John Mayfield Smith, second child of Ambrose and Betsey (Mayfield) Smith. John Mayfield's sibling was Mary Ann. Half siblings from his dad's later marriage were William, Delpha, Henry Wise, Margaret, Elizabeth, Phoebe, Jane, Miram, Nathanial Judd, Sarah F. John and Betsey had seven children, Milissa, Francis, John Jr., Hulda, Moses Ambrose, Mary, and Elizabeth. Hulda married Robert Bratcher and they had five children, Hurley, Lucy, Mary Elizabeth, Reta, and Elizabeth (Bet). Hurley married Minerva Evans and had two children, Ruth, and Velma (Marie). Marie is my mother.
