    2. Does anyone have information on below family? I hope to prove the identity of the parents of EMELINE E. (FULLER) SMITH, other than some evidence that leads me to believe she was the daughter of JORDAN FULLER and his wife ELIZABETH (CONYERS) FULLER of Henderson Co. TN, ca 1823-1855, 1857. In a transcribed 1857 deed, recorded in Henderson Co. TN, the information seems to tie Emeline E. Smith, "formerly Emeline E. Fuller," and John Smith to Jordan Fuller and his heirs. In 1888, Emeline died at her residence on Purdy St. in Lexington, TN. Thank you. Linda Mrs. Hettie SMITH Miller, dau. of John & Emeline, became publisher of "Decaturville Herald" newspaper, Decatur Co. TN. John Smith was buried in Lexington City Cem., Lexington, Henderson Co. TN.
