Spencer and Other Duplin County Researchers. Margaret Ann SMITH ABNERTHY's two books of works are in the Lenoir Community College Heritage ROOM...Her mother was a STROUD...You must ask for it by her name.... She has done a HUGE amount of work on many people in the Smith Township area of Duplin County, NC...I would hope the college would let someone make copies of her work for perhaps Duplin County library... Her work is on the legal sheets format for the Mormon Church records. I don't know if Margaret Ann was of the Mormon faith or not, but we owe her a debt of gratitude for the huge amount of work she has done. Always do right. This will gratify some people & astonish the rest. -Mark Twain- </HTML>
