I wonder if you might be able to suggest the appropriate list for me. I am trying to find the parents of Rev. Samuel Powell Smith b. 1804/5 supposedly in Rowan Co NC. Later he was in Wilkes Co NC. I have posted about hin on the CATAWBA-L list and haven't heard a peep. What list would you recommend for him ?
