Hi, I have some notes on some of the names you have mentioned. Are you sure she was a SMOAK and not a CARTER? I have a Mary E. (I believe E=Elizabeth) SMOAK b1814 to 1819 dau of Moses Smoak (abt 1788-1851). Her first husband (mar abt 1828) was James Hansford ("Hansford") Fender who lived abt 1810-1851. 2nd husband (mar abt 1852) was Thomas Giles Caldwell (Sr.) b abt 1779 Ireland, died 23 Mar 1863 in Colleton County, SC. More interesting for you are my notes on TG Caldwell, Sr: Buried in Carter's Ford Baptist Church, Lodge, Colleton, South Carolina. Tombstone: T. G. Caldwell, Sr.; Departed this Life; March 23, 1863; Age 84 years; (=> B. 1779). 1860 US Census, Barnwell, S.C. p361-B age 77 => B.1783. First wife was Elizabeth ? (may have been CARTER - see below & executors of will), b abt 1784, widow of Robert Miley, Sr who died in 1818. His executors included William Carter and George Carter. Son Thomas Giles CALDWELL, Jr.; Tombstone: 1825-1871; Husband. He is also buried in C.F.B.C. Son is age 50 in 1870 SC, Colleton, Broxton Twp page 64. Next to TGC Jr is Sarah Adeline Carter Caldwell; 1826 - 1871; Wife. From: Karen Newell Eitel [mailto:ekay@ncia.net] May 22, 2001 Subject: [SCCOLLET] THOMAS CALDWELL FAMILY Posted on: Colleton Co.

She would be my 3rd ggrandmother. She was married at least 2 other times. After Miley presumably to Thomas Caldwell. Also Smaok was thought to be her previous husband's name. Too many people.
