John SMITH [d. abt. 1830] and Rebecca McCOY of Knox Co., TN were my gg grandparents. Any chance of a connection? Based on my DNA, John's ancestors were probably from NW Germany. I believe he came to Knox Co..TN from PA via VA. I have traced Rebecca McCoy's McCOY and BORDEN ancestry but have nothing further on SMITHs. Theron Smith
