My Smith's are from AL and they must be kin to your Jones family. I am convinced the Smith's were aliens as I can not find anything earlier than 1838 in AL. <g>   Shirley --- On Wed, 3/25/09, Elaine <McStumped@suddenlink.net> wrote: From: Elaine <McStumped@suddenlink.net> Subject: Re: [TXGEN] Excited To: txgen@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 11:20 PM Believe me, you are lucky you have a clue where they came from.  I have been stuck in 1803 Ga (McCoy line) and 1822 Ala (Jones line) for over 26 years.  These folks fell from a UFO.  I can't tell you how many trips I have made all over the US chasing the slightest hint of info, lost count of pro researchers I have hired in far off places, done the dna testing, enlisted help of 3 other cousins with the research, and we don't  know one more thing today than I knew 26 years ago.  Yeah, you are real lucky in my book.
