Sheila, Is the Columbus Smith who married Rebecca Brazwell on 26 Aug. 1874 in Smith Co. a generation back of your Columbus "Dick" Benton Smith? In Dist 9 Smith 1880 has a Columbus Smith b abt 1852 in Tn and is age 27 and married by 1880... assuming this is the same who married Rebecca. On the Social Security Death Index I found a Columbus Smith b 19 July 1894 d__Nov 1978 in Clarksville, Montgomery, Tennessee 37040; On the 1880 Smith Dist 1 is a Dick Smith 61 (b abt 1819) wife Alethia 58; nephew Ridley Smith 28; Julia Adams da 13 and Mary Cardwell 36, other. Don't know if any of this helps or not. Also checked for Neighbors/Nabors...some appear in Dist 15 Smith 1880, the eldest a woman Wealthy Neighbors b 1820, the motherinlaw of William D. Ray age 28...William's wife Paradetta F. Ray age 30.
