You may want to check out Nathaniel Smalley in Burke Co, NC, on the 1830 census. He is the only Smalley (any spelling) in the area, and he has two males under 5 and 1 male under 10 in his household. In 1840, there is a Nathan Smalley in Pickens Co, SC, and then in 1870 there is a Nathaniel Smalley, age 80, in the household of a John H. Smalley in Franklin Co, GA. Both Nathaniel and John H., 48, were born in NC. Burke to Pickens to north GA was a pretty common migration. Reading these censuses should be helpful to you. > > Subject: > ROLL CALL - SMALLEY, WITHERSPOON, FITE > From: > Sandra Holik <shutterbug1948@yahoo.com> > Date: > Wed, 16 Feb 2005 08:44:50 -0800 (PST) > To: > NCRUTHER-L@rootsweb.com > > >My brick wall is who are my gggrandfather's parents. >He states on his Confederate Pension application that >he was born in 1822 in McDowell County, NC.

Can someone explain? http://www.rootsweb.com/~msichs/plotdeed.html If you go to the above website, it tells how to plot a property deed. I searched for Floyds Creek (don't put in the apostrophe, or it won't pull it up). OK, what does it show??????? Cecelia
