She was born in Hawkins County, TN married William Smith b. 1838 d.1875 Married 11 Sept 1859. The Smiths are my grandmothers family. Zora's parents are Daniel Venable b 1813 in N. Carolina and mother is Mary Lawson b. 1824 in Virgina. That is all I have doing more research on the Smiths. Will work more on the Venable line later. Hope this helps some.
