Reference is made to Ransom Smith, a possible brother or close relative to Robert Smith ... himself married to another daughter of Reuben Moss. Anderson Smith is a son to Ransom Smith - Anderson's wife is unknown. The Robertson referred to is Joseph Robertson, from VA who d. in Campbell Co. in 1821 (wife Delilah, no last name). Witness William McNew is apparently md. by time to Sarah Smith, d/o Ransom Smith - his first wife having been Lucy Walker. Need more info on which William Rogers this is, although Mary Walker, wife of Samuel Cowan mentioned in this deed, was first married to a Mr. Rogers (no first name). The writing on the deed referring to witness Jas. Walker could also be read "Jos." Walker. In short, this sounds like a family land transaction ... so WHO IS JACOB SMITH? This shouldn't be an accident of similar names.] Elijah Longmire is a brother-in-law of Robert C. Smith, Ramsom Smith and Elizabeth Smith, all children of Gulielmus Smith of Hanover Co, VA. Elijah Longmire was married to Mary 'Polly' Moss, May 25, 1803, Granville Co, NC. She was also married to William T. Rogers, b. 1799, Buncombe Co, NC. Need proof of the Rogers marriage.
