Surnames: smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HSB.2ACE/1301 Message Board Post: Looking for possible very early Smith connections in Robeson County, pre-1751. Possibly then called Bladen County. Looking for family connections for a Thomas Smith(Sr) who received a land grant in Craven County SC. Craven County later became Sumter District, and the area of the original land grant on (Stoney Run Creek) is now in presnet day Lee County SC. Any Smith researchers missing a Thomas circa 1750-ish?
