She was married in Carroll county in 1904 she was 17. They were still in that area in 1918. I have my granfathers registration card dated Sept.12,1918 It says he worked at the Newnan cotton mills. I believe my grandmother was the oldest child and Joe or Joseph Smith was the youngest. He married a Eula from the area and lived in Bowdon. My g grandmother is reported to be half Cherokee? Her name was Sarah and she died in the 30's. She had been a widow for many years as my g grandfather died when he was 40. Going to do alot more serching today. Do you have any suggestions?
