I am attempting to locate information for Bird Smith who first married Betsey Boothe 29-Oct-1829 and had 6 sons with her. He then married Lucy Ann Ellison 23-June-1857. The had 2 more sons. I found the following obituary for him: SMITH, BIRD I.R. AUG. 25, 1887 The venerable drayman who died last week, came to this county in 1809, when but 2 years old, settling on Big Branch, back of Rockwood. He moved to Ironton in 1852, and began draying soon after. One of his sons informs us that he found a dray bill dated 1854, among his father's papers. The information I have for the Booth family is: Daniel BOOTHE was born on 5 Apr 1785 in Dutchess County (now Putnam Co.), NY, married Mary McALEXANDER on 24 Apr 1806 in Patrick Co., VA and died on 16 Dec 1853 in Lawrence County. Mary was born in 1785 and died in 1854. The family moved to Lawrence County in the 1814-1818 timeframe. Children: Lucretia m. William SPEARS, Nancy m. Bennet T. EARLES, William, Mary, Elizabeth m. Bird SMITH, Zillah m. Nathan CHAFIN, Elisha m. Elizabeth LAMBERT, Daniel, Andrew J. m. Electra Jane WILLIS, and Henrietta m. William WILLIS. If anyone has any information about Bird Smith, I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer. I have census records and am primarily interested in who is parents were.
