Please let me know what you find on these people you are looking for. My sister married James Wayne Parrott, son of Ulysses 'Ulyss' Simpson Parrott, son of Simpson Dennis Parrott. This is as far back as we can go. My nephew is very interested in the Parrotts side of his familytree. I have done the Smith side for him but we don't know that much on the Parrott side. So when I saw your message with both names, just thought there may be a chance that there will be a connection. I do have a Jeremiah Smyth/Smith being born in Whitley Co, KY (1851) and died in Jellico, TN (1944). He was married to Eliza Jane Lay. Helen
