I have check out may different Smiths' inTippah and Benton Co. Ms. but none of them seem to match. The person I am trying to learn about is our grgrandfather Irvin Jack Smith b. abt 1859 in Ms. He appears on the 1880 Benton Co. Census living with H.W. Duncan and Family. During the year 1880 he married Amanda Burge daughter of John and Melinda Duncan Burge. The Duncans' Burges' and Smiths' lived in Tippah co.(Blue Mt.) and Benton Co. Ms.(Pine Grove Community). I have not been able to find Jack Smith Parents or any Siblings. Any help with finding our grgrandfather would be so appreciated. Margaret Ripley, Tippah Co. Ms.
