Ceal, I have this Jesse R. Smith family in the 1850 census. Elizabeth Clarke Smith is the sister of my ancestor. I would love to know what her childrens names were. She may have died before 1860, but maybe the census taker in 1860 or 1870 wrote the whole names out. 1850 census 1850 Anderson District, SC, Federal Census Page 171B (August 2) (218/220) Jesse R.
