HANSON PHILLIPS SMITH McCRARY Information needed on the above surnames, but especially on: A.J. Smith, possibly brother of Eliza/Elizabeth Smith, who married Matthew McCrary. Eliza & Matthew appear on 1850 C. for Tippah Co. with several children, including youngest son, Smith (Sanford) McCrary, age 6, b. MS. Eliza is listed as age 47, b. in SC; Matthew is listed as age 52, b. SC. When Smith Sanford (S.S.) McCrary applied for his CSA pension in TX, an affidavit on his behalf was filed by A.J. Smith in San Antonio, TX, stating that he had known S.S. McCrary since they were children in MS, and affirming the military service of Smith Sanford McCrary in the 3rd MS Cavalry. S.S. McCrary, the Hansons and A.J. Smith left Water Valley, MS about 1873-74 to come to TX. I think A.J. Smith was related to Eliza, but I have no other information to go on. Thanks to all for any help on this. Harriet
