His wife in 1850-60 was Rachel LEMMONDS but she apparently died before 16 Sep 1863 when Wesley married Emily TAYLOR. The Smith children were: John b c 1846, Nancy b c 1848, William W. b 1849-50, Lewis b c 1851, Susan L. b c 1854 m. Joseph BAIRD, Alex b c 1856 m. Jane DOUGLASS, Franklin Pierce b Feb 1858 m. Frances Ellen HARPER (my great grandparents), Fannie b c 1860 and John b c 1862 - by the second marriage was Alice b c 1866 and Sis b c 1869. These people have all disappearred with the exception of my ancestor Franklin Pierce SMITH who moved to Clay Co., ARKANSAS before 1900. I have searched the 1880 census records and found nothing. If there is someone who has access to the early land records of Gibson Co. could help me to know if and when Wesley SMITH left Gibson Co.it would be of value - also if any of these names show up in cemetery records for the county. T! hey were living in Civil Dist. #21, Dyer Station of Gibson Co. on the 1870 census.
