Marshall Rueben Smith's father was Andrew G. Smith. He had one brother named Joseph F. Smith. Joseph F. Smith was my Great Great Grandfather. He became a doctor and was killed in the Civil War at the battle of Franklin, TN. For years we did not know what happened to him. I recently found out. If you need help researching, let me know.
