Some of this family is buried at Crowell Chapel Cem. The best I can find is on the 1850 census (district 21) #62 Martha Smith 46 NC Polly 24 TN Elizabeth 20 TN Hubbard 18 TN Malcolme 14 Tn Calvin 12 TN Joseph 11 TN ** Ann 10 TN Jane 8 TN Dawson 5 TN Arthur 3 TN Celia Osburn 69 NC There is a Hubbard Smith 67 bNC living at #76. Possible relation? My Joseph's name was JOSEPH YARBROUGH SMITH. He married a Malvina Russell Feb 8, 1870. She died w/no children and Joseph is shown living in Craighead Co, Ark in 1880 married to Mary Rains with 2 children. Some of his brothers moved with him to Arkansas but looks like the rest of family stayed in Bedford County.I know that Martha was on the 1880 census with a Milton Smith who fits the age of Malcome Smith. I was told that Martha Smith's husband was John Smith and died shortly before 1850. Martha died Aug 8, 1892 in Bedford County. I think she is also buried at Crowell Chapel. ANY info on these Smith's would be greatly appreciated! You can only imagine how many Smiths there could possible be!
