After years of trying to figure out the SMITHS in these areas, I started gathering various SMITH information a few years back. I have a half of dozen SMITHs relatives in this area from 1860-1930 or so and am trying to sort them out, knowing that at least some of them have to be related. Well, I have entered all of my OK SMITH information from Carter, Garvin, Murray and Love Counties in a data base in order to better figure out family groups. I have about 250 SMITHs from these areas now. If you would like for me to check to see if your family is in my information or give me your information (outline with dates and location), I will enter it with your name as researcher. I am slowly working my way through the 1900 and 1910 census tracking all SMITHs. Someday I will get around to the 1920. I don't want to give you false hope as I haven't found a single match between researchers and these names yet, but the odds are bound to change. . .
