There are several family stories as to where my GG Grandfather Stephen C Smith b. 1832 came from. We do have a copy of his marriage certificate that shows that he married to my GG Grandmother Samantha Jane Bilbrey b. 1834 on August 24, 1856 in Carroll County Tennessee by C B Smith. In the 1860 Carrol County Census Charles B Smith, from NC age 50, is listed as a Baptist Minister. While I cannot find anything that indicates that this is Stephen's dad, I do think that he is at least a relative, Uncle maybe. We have been looking for Stephen's father for years. Stephen was born in NC or TN. The 1860 & 1870 Cenus indicate one or the other. I would appreciate any information that anyone could provide. A few facts. Stephen and Samantha and children moved to Arkansas in about 1883. Stephen died 16 Feb 1890 and Samantha died between 1901 & 1905. I have the linage on all of the children through the 1950's. Stephen, however, is a mistery.
