Donna ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am not certain. I am just beginning to research these SMITHs so I expect to have to "weed them out". I have seen Nancy parents listed in an individuals LDS file as Charlotte WEAVER and NOEL SMITH. I am looking for the family of NOEL and confirmation that he is in fact the father of Nancy Ann SMITH. SMITH (2 separate lines) are in my fathers lineage. The other SMITH line is Jennie "Bahn" SMITH, of Scottish origen, daughter of a John SMITH. ISSAC STRICKLAND is connected through my mothers lineage. She was born a STRICKLAND. She is a descendant of WILLIAM STRICKLAND who settled in Sampson County, NC. Nancy
