Hello Rhea County Researchers, Just checking to see if there are any Smith researchers on this list who are researching the following family which I found on an 1870 4th Civil District, Rhea County census transcription on the Internet the other day. I believe Malisa is my great-great- grandmother who married James K. Carr in Stone County, Missouri, in 1876. Smith, Charles D 48 M W Farmer AL Hannah C 40 F W Keeping house TN Lewis E 16 M W Farm Laborer TN Malissa A 14 F W TN Nancy E 12 F W TN Minerva T 9 F W TN Charles N 8 M W TN Horace 3 M W TN Family history given to my mom by my grandmother's cousin says Malisa's father was Charles Dunkun Smith. Malisa's mother was Carolyn Casey, possibly the Hannah C is Hannah Carolyn. Malisa's brother's and sisters match up if Minerva T is her sister Tennesee who married a Bud Wooly. Malisa is the right age and her claim for a widow's pension indicates she was from Rhea County originally, where she had previously married a William E Rogers in 1872. Mr. Rogers apparently headed for the hills after a short marriage and she later heard he had been shot in 1873, one story says in Memphis, another says in Alabama. The story continues that Malisa went to Stone County to visit her sister Tennessee and met and married James K. Carr. I have information about the Carr family, but just a few names for my Smiths so I would be extremely happy if anyone knows for sure if this is the correct family. Thanks.
