Speaking of Jon Smith.... I've been trying to locate info on a Jonathan M. Smith who married a Candacea Pennington. I haven't located marriage records, but they are found on various census in Watauga Co from 1850 for several years census after. Would love to talk with anyone who might know anything about this family. They had at least 4 daughters: Emeline, Margaret, Lucinda & Elizabeth. Emeline married John C Guy & they had children. Anybody know anything??? Thanks, Melissa. -----Original Message----- From: ncwataug-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ncwataug-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jon Smith Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 1:19 PM To: ncwataug@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NCWATAUG] Zionville School I realize I'm not related to John Smith. (My Smith's were Schmidt's and came from Germany). But being a Jon Smith, my wife is always asked, "so who are you? Pocohantas?" You have to be a Jon/John Smith to appreciate the situation! :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "JOHN FLETCHER" <romejohn@verizon.net> To: <ncwataug@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 1:05 PM Subject: Re: [NCWATAUG] Zionville School > Maotakoa, aka Pocahontas, aka Rebecca Rolfe married John Rolfe in > Jamestown on April 5, 1614.
