Nelson, Fayette, and Woodford are all names : of counties in Kentucky. : : Also, regarding the 1800 census of Ohio County, James was the brother : of William (Bill), who went to Texas. James also had a son named John. They : first settled in Ohio County near Hartford, but then moved to the Yelvington : area. Ohio County was split and part of it formed Daviess County, but I : don't know off hand what year they split. James and John (using the spelling : of Smeathers) then lived in Daviess County.
