I am researching also. Trying to find documentation for the following: My Great Grandfather: William Alexander Smith b. 1880 d. 1919 mar to Esper Clara Woodson b. 1886 d. 1961. This I can document. 2nd GGrandfather: James Brison Smith b 1855 d. 1905 mar to Lucy Patterson 3rd GGrandfather: James Eddie Smith b 1834 mar to Fredinia Parker (May have came from Arkansas abt. 1889) They lived in Gober, and or Hail I think. Have a short biography about this family written by Floy Crandall Hodge. 4th GGrandfather: Brison Smith b. 1814 His father may have been born in 1790 in N.C. I just obtained the information 2 days ago and haven't confirmed any of it. Having a hard time finding anything. If this matches any Smiths you're looking for, let me know. Maybe we can help each other. Pat Green
