Lois is not on the list but wanted me to post this, in case some of you working on this Christian Smither line could help her, thanks Nena From: "lois wallace" <loiswallace@charter.net> To: "Nena Smothers" <smothersnena@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: Smothers Family Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2003 10:45:37 -0500 Nina>Also sent that to Tim Abel. He says their are 3 different Johns Smothers refered to here. As for my John being the son of Christian, he isn't. The John that signed the marriage for sister Hannah, could be looked ito more, because the were both siblings of Christian. He may have been that John. I've been working on getting what we do know, on our line, so I can send that onto you. Maybe you can post that to the list. Maybe we will be able to find someone, that knows more. I had hope Joyce would have were the names of the children came from. Tim says they may be right, just that some of them wasn't raised. It would explain why we are finding many of them. With imfo from other Smothers, I see ours mixed in. So It's like a rope we have to unweave. >Lois ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nena Smothers" <smothersnena@hotmail.com> Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 2:19 AM Subject: Re: Smothers Family Hi Lois...this is certainly a strange format......not sure I get it either....nor what she is talking abt PROVING...except the marriage..I think you should write her and ask her to explain the best she can a little bit better for you. Looks like some service info on a John Smothers in a blue book.... would this be your John Smothers?? Also some census info on Henry and a mortality list A pension application Some Ohio land in Franklin City on Henry ?? John having a sister Hannah...?? This is pretty confusing. ..I would ask her to try to explain it better. Nena From: "lois wallace" <loiswallace@charter.net> Nina Can you make any since of this? Do you suppose anyone on the Smothers List would know anything about the reeferences in Ky & Tenn? I started with info from this womens deceased dau. This is suppose to be where Cyndie found info.
