Below is recent entry from the Guestbook at my Smothers Genealogy web site. I am not sure what Smothers lineage Bennie connects to.....if anyone on the list knows, clue us in! Bill Smothers Delaware http://htmlgear.tripod.com/guest/control.guest?u=smothers1&i=1&a=view =============================== I was born in Murfreesboro, TN - Father, Bennie Harrison Smothers; Mother, Lila Mae (Perry) Smothers. I lived in Hollow Rock, TN until I was 7 years old and then moved around the world because B.H. Smothers was in the Army. My son-in-law is doing research on family history and he e-mailed me the information. I was seldom in Tennessee so I am very little help to him. I believe he has been able to find a great deal of linkage, but do you have any additional areas of linkage he can look into? The Perry side of my mother still resides in Murfreesboro, TN. My father's second wife was Mary Foxworth Smothers and my two half-sisters by that marriage are Wanda Susan Smothers and Amanda H. (Smothers) Wooten. My father died in 1999 and out of seven, only my Aunt Daisy survives and she has returned to Tennessee near Huntington, TN. Thanks, Alice S. Ward artbyalice@sc.rr.com ===============================
