Padgett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EgB.2ACI/2591 Message Board Post: I am seeking info about my ggg grandfather John Smith (b 1774) who supposedly came to SC from Ireland and married Mary Montgomery daughter of John Montgomery and Rosanne Roddy from Pa to SC.They moved to Dawson Co Ga around 1830. I saw on a tree that his father was Basil (Bazil)Smith. I have another source that suggests he was the son of Reuben Smith and brother to Gabriel Smith Sr. Reuben was the son of David Smith from Ireland. Gabriel Smith Jr. went to Dawson Co Ga , married a full Cherokee, Sabra Blue. They had 8 children: He was supposedly the first person to be buried at Liberty Baptist Church Cemetery in Dawson Co, where John Smith is also buried. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
