No mothers name. Since Smallwood is an unusual first name I am thinking maybe it was his mothers maiden name and since there were a lot of Smallwoods in Bertie Co. maybe one of them out there might connect my Findley with their Smallwood. Smallwood was born 1825/9 in Jackson Co.,Miss. His mother died when he was 3 days old and his father gave him and his brother Jeptha Fannin Findley to a man by the name of May or Mays. They saw their father until Smallwood was about 12 and then he either died oe just dissapeared. Any help will be welcomed. Smallwood was my gggrandpa. Pat Jeffers ladyj@xprs.net
