My thanks to every one of you that have answered my plea. What wonderful people you are, I will sort out and digest the info that you have shared, if you find that I can help in any way let me know, Our line is Elisha Smothers b 1800 in TN. Jan > Does any one have a William Harrison Smothers b. 1841, Wyly Smothers b. 1845 or a John Smothers b. 1852 in their data files???? That is all of the info that I have on these 3 boys.
