The one you're speaking of is the son of Dock (not Dick) Smith and Molly Frances Barbee. Dock Smith is the son of Ely and Hazel Smith. I'm not aware of any connection of these Smiths to Smith County, although I haven't researched this family much. This Columbus "Lum" Smith was married to my grandmother's twin sister, Acie Myrtle Shrader. _\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_\|/_ | Roger L.
