Do you know if they were married in Stewart County? Both of them are listed as having been born in NC, but all of their children claim to have been born in Tennessee. So I'm trying to figure out when Josiah moved. > Also, was the second Josiah Smith actually named Richard Josiah Smith?

I don't know, but that Josiah does seem to disappear for a while, and there is a Richard nearby. I'll have to look into this further. Thanks for the tip! > Thirdly, I have a note that says Josiah the first's son Henry was "M. Henry > Smith." I don't know where this info came from. Is there any validity to > it? His obituary lists him as M. Henry Smith but that's the only document that I know of that does. I have his marriage and death certificates as well as every Census between 1850 and 1900, and he's always just "Henry". I have started to suspect that maybe the obituary should have been "Mr. Henry Smith", and the "r" was left off.

Roger, The only thing I have supporting the name Michael for Josiah Smith's wife is this: my dad (Cecil Shepherd) says he can remember his aunts talking family among themselves and recalling that their parents called Mrs. Smith "Aunt Mickey." There's plenty of room for error in these handed-down recollections, so give it whatever credence you wish. Also, was the second Josiah Smith actually named Richard Josiah Smith? I see him as Richard on one or more censuses and know from family lore that he went by the nickname of Dick. Thirdly, I have a note that says Josiah the first's son Henry was "M. Henry Smith." I don't know where this info came from. Is there any validity to it? Your website is outstanding! I know from my own feeble efforts at collecting and recording data what a phenomenal amount of effort went into it.

Hi Marcia, Yes, if you'll look again at the transcriptions, J.V. Smith and wife Izora, and M.W. Smith and wife Nancy W. Smith are listed in the first deed as selling their land to Hanibal for $100. Then the rest give their land to him to take care of their mother, et al.: http://www.ramawam.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I2639&tree=roger On another note, I was meaning to email you about Michael Shepherd. Do you have any documentation that lists her name as "Michael" other than the 1850 Census? In Spencer Smith's death certificate, her name is listed as "Bettie", which is usually a nickname for Elizabeth. This makes me wonder if the "Michael" entry in 1850 isn't just an error. -Roger On Sat, 2 Oct 2004, trekell wrote: > Roger, > > Do you have any idea why Henry's eldest child, James Valentine Smith, was > not among the heirs who were listed in the division of his property after > his death?
