I have located Jesse and Elizabeth "Betsy" Clarke Smith in the 1850 Anderson Co. SC census, but it was taken by a lazy census taker. Does anyone know the names of the first two children of this couple? I know that the third one is Luther Preston Smith. Any information, clues or connections with this couple will be appreciated.
