Surnames: Smith, Stricklin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VJIBAEB/28140.1 Message Board Post: My ggrandfather James E Madison Smith b. 1839 and Gilbert b 1827, his brother (I think), came to MO from Mississippi Tennessee area. I do not know their parents names but the census shows the father was born in South Carolina, the Mother in SC or TN. Do these names and dates sound familiar to you?
