This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: SMITH, DORTCH, BADGER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DCB.2ACE/38.64.2 Message Board Post: After reading your message on the board concerning the Smith family, I believe we may have some common links. I have a Mary Ann Dortch, b. ca. 1820, who married Benjamin Smith. She had children from this marriage including a son William killed in the War between the States. I believe this Mary Ann Dortch Smith later married a man named Badger. Some of my information is from a printed flyer from 1940 without references so there may be some errors. Most of my research concerning this family has been on the Dortch family, which is my line. Let me know if this might be the people of interest to you. Thanks.
