Ruth, I am a descendant of Malcolm Smith and his son Abel. I know in Malcolm's will he named his wife as Sally but that is all I know. Don't know who, when or where they married or if she is the mother of his children. If she is then they would have married in NC. but I can find very little in Chatham Co. on Malcolm and if his birthdate is correct in some other records then he could not have been born in Chatham as it did not exist at that time. I have also looked at previous counties that formed Chatham but still no luck. I am not related to any Sutton's so can't help on that side. Will be glad to keep you posted if I come up with anything.

Shirley, which one of Abel's children do you descend from? Thanks for for the name of Malcolm's wife. Do you have a copy of the Macon Co Tn. History And Families? if you do read about Liberty Church. If not I will send you the info. it has about Malcolm. He was a Missionary Baptist Minster. I think that in Cal's Column He has Malcolm born in Va. I will look at my family tree and if I am wrong I will let you know. I want to say I am always happy to get to know a new cousin. No matter how many times removed.
