Very interesting. A Sherrod Witherington, b 1841 was the son of Redding Witherington and Nancy Ann Smith md 1837. Did Nancy Ann name her son after a brother? Do you have any siblings for Sherrod Thomas Smith? Redding and Nancy had a daughter Nancy who md a Venter(s). Does anyone know this Venter's given name? An Amelia Venters md John Witherington, Jr in 1836.

Sarah Venters', wife of Sherrod Thomas Smith, father Benj Venters' siblings were 1) Susan Venters who married Zachariah Gardner, 2) Argent Venters who married John F. Smith, 3) Amellia Venters who married John Witherington, 4) George Washington Venters, Sr who married 1st Rachel Gwaltney and 2nd Sophia Ann Buck, 5) Mary Venters who married Ransom Buck. At the moment, I don't have any thing on Sherrod Witherington, the son of Redding Witherington and Nancy Ann Smith. Redding Witherington was the bondsman on the marriage bonds of Sarah Venters and Sherrod Thomas Smith. The siblings of Sherrod Thomas Smith have not been clearly identified. I don't have a listing for a Nancy Witherington who married a Venters. This doesn't mean that a marriage doesn't exist. It seems to be a connection somewhere within the communities of families. vr, Carroll Jean wrote: > Very interesting.
