    1. Roll Call - Oconee County - Smith Family
    2. I am looking for information on the following names in Oconee County. SMITH, LEE, GASOWAY (GASSAWAY), SHED (SHEDD), LEE Most originate in the Long Creek. The Smiths coming from Rabun Co., Georgia. My father's side of the family is the SMITH line. I'll only mention the most recent. Henry Smith b. 1832 in Ga. married Betty Dockins b. 1828 in Ga. Their son Calvin Cicero Smith b. 1849 in Ga. married Elizabeth Justus b. 1847 in Ga. Their son Russell Clinton Smith b. June 13, 1881 in Rabun Co., Ga. married Polly Jane Lee in Oconee Co., SC. They are both buried at Long Creek Baptist Church. Russell and Polly were my grandparents. Polly's parents were Marcus Davis Lee and Nancy Mahala Gasoway. The parents of Marcus Davis Lee were John Lee Jr. born Dec. 25, 1833. He married Polly Shed b. April 16, 1835. I have enjoyed reading the Heritage Book of Oconee County. I have a lot of relative in the book. My family on both sides Cobb and Smith are in the book. Of course there would be a mix up - my parent's pictures were switched with my grandparent's pictures. Thank you for any information. Gail Boyle, Bel Air, Maryland
