William Brady 20 Mar 1861, St. Genevieve, MO (A/150) (Comment on Morgan's tombstone) Both Morgan and Mary are probably buried in Little Vine Baptist Church. Morgan's stone (b. 26 Apr 1807- Mary's birth date?) has an incorrect death date (3 Aug 1883), probably the death date of his wife. Morgan's actual death date is established by his son's Civil War application file with Elizabeth vouching for Morgan, Sr.'s death in a separate affadavit, and by a local history decribing Reuben's return to Indiana after Morgan, Sr.'s death. Morgan's tombstone was probably erected years after his death, as it is made of thick granite, not thesoft limestone of other stones of his relatives in the same cemetery who died about the same time. The sponsor of the stone was probably mistaken about the name and dates on the stone. I have considerably more on this Smith line back to the 1750's in PA and VA and on descendants of the other lines from Morgan Smith, Sr. in the St. Genevieve and St. Francois Cos., MO areas.
