In 1880, they were living in Forsyth County Ga. They had the following males: Barney Eber, Hampton C. and William Bennett. By 1900, all had scattered :some in Cherokee, others in Pickens. Emmaziah lived with his parents Thomas Harrison and Harriet Elizabeth Smith Yellow Creek Dawson County for a while. My mother was a Smith through William Joseph, older brother of Emmaziah. He and Rosa and other family members are buried at Shiloah Methodist Church, Cherokee County, Georgia.Thanks for any help.
