I ran accross your message on Ancestry.Com and wanted to let you know I do still exist. William Marion Smothers and Mary Elizabeth Rose were the parents of Nancy Elizabeth Smothers and Wesley Austin Smothers and others. Nancy Elizabeth Smothers married William Alfred Nelson - they had three children - one of which was Ira Doyle Nelson Born - 1905-Pindall, Searcy County, Arkansas. Ira married Myrtle Greenhaw - Born Abt. 1912 in the same City. They had two children Bobbie Lee Nelson - Born 1911, and Willie Hugh Nelson - Born 4/29/1933 in Abbott, Texas. Wesley Austin Smothers was my mothers (Puline Frances Smothers) father. He married Mary Isabel Perryman as his second wife. I show his first wife was Claudie Bell Nelson. I have no informatin on her and have no idea if she was related to William Alfred Nelson or not. If I can help in any way let me know.>John ~~~~~~~~ Hi John...how great to hear from you.
