Since we are on the SMITH subject, the following families were all from Rowan Co. NC to LCT about 1818. I would like to contact descendants working on the following lines. Cornelius SMITH and wife Nancy MERRILL married 1810 Rowan Co. NC. Lucy SMITH and William MERRILL married 1814, Rowan Co. NC. Joseph SMITH and wife Mary MERRILL, married about 1825 era probably LCT. James SMITH and Parthenia MERRILL married about 1830 era probably LCT. Parents of the MERRILLS were Jonathan MERRILL and Nancy ELLIOT who were in Lincoln and Bedford Co. TN 1818 to about 1850. Grandparents of MERRILLS were Capt. Benjamin MERRILL and Jemima SMITH, a daughter of Andrew SMITH of New Jersey. I would like proof the above SMITH's were or were not related to each other. Pat
