Bird Smith Dec. 7, 1847 in Carroll Co. MS? She had children Franklin Theophilus Smith, Mary Smith, Arabella Smith & Salina Smith at the time. After she & Nathaniel married she had one child, listed as Dan Tucker on the 1850 census, but apparently he changed his name to Jefferson Davis Carter from whom my husband was descended. Nathaniel had been married before to Eliza Matthews in 1838 and apparently before that to a Crawford & had 2 children by her: Warren Joseph born 1831 & John born 1833. They are all in the household of the 1850 Carroll Co. MS census, page 196, taken Aug. 31, 1850. Nathaniel died in 1857 in Carroll Co. MS, but apparently he has no marked grave.
