Does anyone know where I can find a copy of these records? http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/indexcc.txt George Adam Smith (From Mid 1700s) Descendants 10-1 13 I have reason to believe I descend from this family through their son John Smith who married Catherine Mauser for several reasons. First of all I descend through Johannes Hunsucker "John" and his SMITH wife. Their dtr Sarah Hunsucker is my 3rd great grandmother who married Henry Bolch. They also had a daughter Susannah Hunsucker who married 1st Henry Hoke. Henry died around 1839/1840 and Susannah had 4 Hoke boys; Elkanah, Monroe, George and John David Hoke. All of these boys are living with different people 1850. John David Hoke is residing with Frederick Smith and Angline Sigman 1850. Susannah remarried 1849 to Jacob Moser and moved over to Alexander Co North Carolina. She had two children with Jacob Moser, Jacob 1850 and BARBARA ANN MOSER 1854. I believe my John Hunsucker was dead bet 1828/1830 and his Smith wife 1820/1823 as he marries a 2nd time to Polly Sigman 1824. By the time John Smith dies in 1847 all of John Hunsucker's children are grown and he and his wife are dead, and good reason not to name her in his will. I believe that my SMITH grandmother's name may have been BARBARA ANN SMITH, daughter of John Smith and Catherine Mauser. I have found the name Barbara quite prevalent in these Smith families and if what I believe to be true, Barbara's sister Mary Magadlene Smith and Daniel Fry are living in Alexander Co Nc over by Susannah Hunsucker Hoke Moser. I believe that Susannah Hunsucker's uncle was Frederick Smith and the reason her son John David Hoke is living with Frederick in 1850. Also in the will of Johann Adam Bolch he mentions these Schmidt families and they are always living around the Hunsucker's. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/2953/will.html Will of Johann Adam Bolick/Bolch I give and bequeath unto my son Sebastian, all that portion or parcel of land lying and situate on the Western or Northern side of Lyle's creek, adjoin the land of George Adam Schmitt and on other track of my own land, being part of a large tract that I bought of Henry Schmitt by virtue of Royal Grant (Patent) bearing date of Twenty First of July 1774 as the said patent will more fully and clearly appear, to have and to hold the said tract on said creek, which shall set a limit between him and his brother Jasper (Casper) unto my son Sebastian Bolch his heirs, executors, and assigns forever; and further, I give and bequeath unto my sone Jasper all the remainder of the said described tract I bought of the aforesaid Henry Schmitt that is situated in the Eastern or South side of said Lyle's creek which shall set limits between him and his brother, Sebastian, adjoiningPhilip Adam and Philip Giger, to have and to hold the said tract being part of the aforesaid larger tract unto the said Jasper Bolch and his heirs, executors and assigns forever.
