I am sure that connection originated with me....and it is little more than an educated guess based on when and where Elisha was born (1800 TN) and what Smothers families were in Tennessee ca 1800, and who Elisha lived near in the early part of his lfe before he moved to Arkansas (i.e., pre-1850). My on-line genealogy file at Rootsweb WorldConnect has shown this connection for the past year or two, and some people may have copied it without giving it any thought, but my file does clearly state that Elisha's parents are not proven.
