Author: AriellaKel59 Surnames: Hastings, Smith Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.mississippi.counties.wilkinson/777/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Does anyone have any info on this lady and her family? She lived in Gloster, MS. She lived in the Amite, Wilkinson County area of MS. Her husband was Jehu N. Smith, and she has several children. They married in 1890. She is my great grandmother and I know virtually nothing about her family. Her son, William Jennings Smith "Frank" was my maternal grandfather. But he died in 1958, which was a year before I was born. He moved to Gregg County, Texas. His wife was Bonnie Mae Pepper Sharp. Mae was in the 1910 census for Wilkinson County, and I have her on a cemetery record for Amite County. Mae died just a few months after my grandfather. She was buried in Roseland Cemetery. Her husband preceded her in death. All 3 of this family is buried in Roseland Cemetery. That is all I know about Mae Hastings Smith. So if you recognize this name, please email me, or reply to this board. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
