I am looking for information on a Richard Smith from Sumter Co.SC. Evidently he was living in Montgomery Co. AL when he died and his will was probated there in June, 1845. His wife Susannah was still living in Sumter Co. at the time of his death. He had a stepson named William Webb (Susannah's son) and a step-grandson named Richard Smith Webb. Susannah was probably not his first wife. There is a possibility that he first married a widow who's last name was Hood. In his will he speaks of Henry Hood & Baldwin Hood as his beloved sons. If you are researching Smiths and could help me I would appreciate hearing from you. Beth Meriwether
