Unfortunately most of what I info I have on the Smith's from Bedford County is what I mentioned earlier. It is thought that Malcolm D Smith married Margaret Fisher July 5, 1866. Not sure if this is mine but dates and all match. My Joseph Yarbrough Smith married Malvina A Russell Feb 8, 1870. They are shown on the 1870 Bedford County Census as 38/38 J Y Smith 30 born TN Malvina 19 born Tn Martha 65 born Tn 39/39 Martha Smith 39 born TN John 18 Permelia 17 G W 16m W J 13f M E 12f Polly T 11 W C 8m (think this is William Calvin; age fits other info) 40/40 Malcolm Smith 34 born TN Margaret 41 born TN M J 3f M E 1f Family story has that Malvina died in childbirth and Joseph moved to Arkansas with other family members where he married Mary Raines from McNairy County, TN. Have not found their marriage record yet. I know from other info from a Smith researcher that William Calvin was in in Arkansas but that is the only one I have found for sure from this family line. According to 1880 census, Harbert Smith and Nancy A had following children mentioned; Eddy ca 1866 May L ca 1869 James H ca 1872 Cassie A ca 1874 Hider (?) ca 1876 Minnie F ca 1878 Agood (?) Nov 1880 Malcolm D Smith and Margaret list on the 1880 census the following Nancy c1864 Permelia c1869 William c 1872 Martha c 1874 I need to look at this again as this is second hand info. My grandfather was born in Bono, Arkansas Dec 17, 1882 to Joseph Y and Mary Smith. Mary died c 1885 and Joseph c 1890. My grandfather had no real memories of his parents. Once he moved back to Tennessee while working with the Dupont Co. I am not sure if he knew that he had relatives so close by as there was noone to tell him of family that I know of. My mother said he never mentioned anyone but his brother and sister and a cousin in Arkansas that they stayed with after their parents died. I did find an article that mentions the area of Bedford County where Crowell Chapel is located. It calls it" Thompson's Ford in 1806 but in 1824 it took the name Crowell Mill. Around 1874 it was named Hall's Mill. This is located on the Duck River in the northwestern part od Bedford County on the 11th and 18th Civil District line. Among early settlers in the area were George W Smith and his wife Phebe, the latter dying April 3, 1830 with burial in the old part of Crowell's Chapel Cemetery."(Settlement at Thompsons Ford, Hall's Mill, TN by Jerry Wayne Cook) Another article mentions a "William Smith , a land locator and surveyor, forded the Duck River at Thompson's Ford(now Hall's Mill) in August 1783 with Ambrose Mauldin, Juluis Saunders, Alexander Greer, and Mathew Talbot on their way back to French Lick at Nashville." (Some early settlers of the 18th civil district by Jerry Wayne Cook) Have not connected these names to mine but feel there has to be a connection somewhere! Surely between all of us working on these lines from this area, we can link these families together! Let me know if any of this makes sense to you or you recognize any names. Thanks so much for your help!
