My Smith's were in Franklin County as early as 1820 The oldest one I have documented is Nicholas Smith, David Smith was his son and George was his grandson. George married Alice Zumbro in 1870? Or so. He died in the 1930's as an old man. I am typing from memory but I am sure that the George you mention is not mine. Sorry--would love to claim it but not so!

MS. census I found Barnice LANDRAM (Barnabus LANDRUM) (b.abt. 1794). He was married abt. 1817 to Rebecca SMITH (b. 1798). Well! Right before him.....was 2 Smith families! They were Joshua Smith and George (P.?) Smith. Joshua Smith has one male under 10, two males of 16 and under 26, one male of 45 and upwards, one female of 16 and under 26. George Smith has one male of 26 and under 45, one female under 10, one female of 16 and under 26. I wonder if either one of these might be the parent of Rebecca Smith Landrum? Got any feelings about it?
