Surnames: Debord and Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3365 Message Board Post: Sarah Smith appears in the 1870 Bledsoe Co, Tn Census as the daughter of James M Smith and Catherine. Sarah later marries John Wheeler debord II in Bledsoe in 1882. Sarah's brother, James Thomas Smith and Addie V (Childers) Smith are my gg grandparents. According to Debord family tree data, John Wheeler Debord II was born in Hawkins Co, Tn Aug 27, 1864 and Sarah A Smith in Hawkins Co, TN Jan 6 1866. Sarah's family is in the Bledsoe Co, Tn census for 1870. John's family are in White Co, TN for 1870 and then on to Bledsoe Co, Tn for 1880, after which they married, and later moved to Sherman, Grayson Co, TX in about 1894. I am having extreme difficulty locating James M smith and Catherine beyond 1870, and if Sarah was in fact born in Hawkins Co, Tn in 1866, I have progressed that far at least. Anyone having info on these families or the pedigree of Sarah, please email me at mrfrost@zoominternet.net.
