Looking for more defendable information for one of my "needles in the haystack"; need solid info or leads on family composition of one William SMITH of NC>PendletonSC /Franklin Co GA (there were 32 Wm Smith's with War 1812 service records living in GA alone) who is possibly son of John "Little River" Smith (Montgomery Co NC); he is believed to be the one who enlisted for Rev War service in Nov 1780 in 96th/Pendleton Distr; maybe uncle to one William Smith R9701 Served as a captain of a mounted Indian spy company and was at the siege of Augusta and Savannah. In addition, this William SMITH assisted in building several forts in GA and Smith Fort on the Ogeechee. He was also at the siege of Charleston and in numerous skirmishes. Perhaps it is this same William Smith who sold his SC bounty lands to Capt Rang for 20 lbs. (British money still used after the war ?) ; my William SMITH (b abt 1763) & wife Elizabeth, moved to Elbert/Franklin/Habersham Co GA abt 1789; my William may be the one recorded as an Indian "spy", Wilkins Station, Franklin Co GA militia in 1790; beginning abt 1802-1805 took land in Lincoln Co TN and thereafter was involved in selling off his land held in NE GA to various parties, including several WHITEHEAD transactions. One of his daughters, Nancy SMITH (b 1791 NE GA) married Archibald WHITEHEAD abt 1807 in TN or GA (?); and by 1810 were living in Lincoln Co TN. Nancy's father, my William SMITH is next known to be buying land Nov 25, 1824 in Walker (land in now Fayette) Co AL. Said William SMITH's location is then unknown until matters related to settlement of his estate arise related to a "deed of gift" conveying this Walker/Fayette Co AL "land and a slave for the rest of her life", signed in Nov 3, 1838 by said William SMITH to his daughter Nancy Smith Whitehead. She later had to pursue her father's lawyer (BROWN, of Tuscaloosa AL; hired by one of William SMITH's sons), who attempted to keep the land for himself, and thus Nancy won back the land in a proceeding before the Alabama Supreme Court in 1851. Nancy's case was supported by a deposition provided by her brother, Jasper SMITH of Lauderdale Co AL. It is unknown where said William SMITH or his wife Elizabeth died. Other than Jasper SMITH, other sons of William SMITH are not known, but some clues follow. Among the other candidate sons of William SMITH are: Lemuel "Lee" SMITH, b 1798 SC; seen in 1830c of Fayette Co AL; Robert C. SMITH b 1799 SC, seen in 1840c of Lincoln Co TN; Jonathan SMITH b 1804 SC, seen in 1850c of Lincoln Co TN; Daniel Franklin SMITH, b 1806 Greenville SC, took land in 1832 adjacent to Fayette Co AL lands of William SMITH; James Rufus SMITH, b 1811 TN, took Fayette Co AL land in 1850 alongside Nancy Smith WHITEHEAD; Alfred SMITH b 1813 TN, in 1836 took Fayette Co AL land adjacent to William SMITH; Moses Howell SMITH b Feb 15, 1811 SC, living in 1840c in Fayette Co AL community where Wm SMITH's land lay. [some of above may be sons; some may be nephews; some may be unrelated ???] Any SMITH experts out there who can help fully establish subject family ???
