Hi everyone, Its been a while so I thought I would post again. I'm tring to find a connection between 3 Smith families in the 1850 Smyth Co. census. They were thought to be from Granville Co. N.C. 1 st family is James C. Smith b. 1799 in N.C. and his wife Lethe Brown b. abt. 1810 in Guilford N.C. married in Guilford Co. N.C. James is listed as Constable of Chilhowie, I presume, since that is where they lived, their children are: William E. b. abt. 1827 N.C. Sarah Ann b. abt. 1828 N.C. Betsey Jane b. abt. 1830 N.C. Nancy C. B. abt. 1833 N.C. Ann Eliza b. abt. 1836 N.C. Mary F. b. abt. 1839 N.C. Martha E. b. abt. 1843 N.C. Amanda C. b. abt. 1847 Va. Alexander H. b. abt. 1848 Va. Henry Clay b. abt. 1850 Va. 2nd Family is Ransom J.C. Smith b. abt. 1801 N.C. I believe his wife is Mary Hicks deceased married in Granville Co. N.C. their children are: Mary b. abt. 1831 N.C. Isabella b. abt. 1837 Va. 3rd family is Green Smith b. abt. 1814 N.C. his wife Elizabeth b. abt.1805 their children are: Martha J. b. abt.1840 Va. Thomas F. b. abt.1842 Va. Mary A.F. b. abt. 1844 Va. Thanks and I hope you all break thru your brick walls...........Bob Smith
