No, I'm stuck on that, but here's what I do know. I have a Mary "Polly" Ann Smith who married my James B. Thompson. Her father William H. Thompson had a brother named George W. Smith with a daughter named Mary Jane Smith. Mary Jane Smith married George W. Thompson (blacksmith) and they had a daughter, Mary Elizabeth Thompson (wife of Wesley Newton Taylor). Polly Ann's parents were William H. and Caroline Louisa Smith. I only know that William H. had a a brother George W. through family lore. To confuse matters even more, our other Thompson (Benjamin Franklin) married Martha Ann Smith ... she was supposed to be another cousin to Mary Jane and Mary Ann (Polly Ann). I haven't figured out if that's accurate or who Martha's parents were yet. This gets so confusing because the same first names show up in both the Smith and Thompson line! Donna

Published Feb 12, 1909 George W. Smith, age 74 yrs, died Saturday morning, Feb 6, 1909, at 12 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. W. Thompson with whom he had been living for the past few months. His remains were carried to Winchester, Tenn, his former home, and were there interred Tuesday, in the presence of a host of friends and relatives. Deceased had resided here but a few months yet hew was a man of pleasant bearing and made many friends who deeply regret his demise. He was a faithful Christian and a short while before death, he remarked to his daughter, Mrs. Thompson, that death was welcome since it would bring him relief and that he was fully prepared for the end. He was ill but a few days but suffered intensely, having gastritis and a complication of diseases. In the war between the states, Mr. Smith, exposed the cause of his native south and enlisted and gallantly served in the fourth Tennessee Reg. In this were a number of veterans who reside in this section and who were comrades of the deceased. His passing makes the rapid falling off of the ranks of the civil war veterans and brings nearer the sad truth that in a few more years there will be no old soldiers left to tell of the trying times, the iron nerve, and faithful stand of the men who fought hand to hand in this mighty struggle one to free a race and the other to defend his home.

Before you are off and running to view it though, want to tell you that not all of the information is up yet and we will be adding to it, so keep checking back. I need to say a great big thank you to all who contributed !! Also a big thank you needs to go out to Donna O'Brien for being our typist. I could not function with out her speedy little fingers!! thanks Donna!! Then a really big thank you to Bill McConnell for putting my information in HTML ( that means web page form ;-) for me.
