In the recently published Gregg County, Texas Family Histories, there is an error in the death date for James Madison Smith (b. 1824). He died in 1856 [not 1866 as the article states] as is proved by the records of his estate in Franklin County, Georgia. [Microcopy SLC 2184705; Georgia Department of Archives and History, Atlanta Georgia] His wife Harriett was the guardian for the 6 minor children: Royal/Riley D. Smith; John H. Smith; Sarah C. Smith; Robert T. Smith; Mary E. Smith; Benjamin F. Smith. Mike Bonner JLKMEB@msn.com<mailto:JLKMEB@msn.com>
