Thanks for all your help....I found Cousin Lou on HeritageQuest. (she does have a daughter Sally Annie b. 1872 in Va...so I assumed William ...tin was the family she belonged with. I couldn't make out the name, like most of you I searched for all the Williams and found Heritage Quest have him listed as a Martin...It looked like Keartin to me...but whoever heard of that as a Mecklenburg area name?! I also searched for Harrison and Boyce the names of the sons and came up with nothing...sooooo Maybe somebody knows/knew of these folks: Nannie Eugenia "Lou" Elliott married William J A Smith 21 Dec 1869 Mecklenburg co Va. in a double wedding with her sister Virginia Ann "Jennie" Elliott & Edward Byron Brewer. Lou was born 28 Feb 1853 and died 14 March 1932. (I can't find her in 1930 census) William Smith served in the 14th Va Infantry CSA. In 1900 they were in Black Walnut District of Halifax Co. VA Lou listed as mother of 7 with 5 living. In 1910 they were in Mecklenburg, Bluestone District, Jeffries Road (William died 1912) At one time Lou was the hotel manager of the Grace Hotel in Clarksville and a hotel in Finchley Va. Lou and William are buried at Bluestone Baptist Church Cemetery with their son Walter. The other 4 children are "lost"....I had hoped I had located Sally Children: 1. Sally Annie Elliott b. 1872 in Va. She was not with her parents in 1910 census. 2. Mary E "Mollie" Elliott born Dec 1874 in NC. She was single and living with parents in 1910. 3. Beuna V Smith born April 1877 in NC. She married Mr Shelton (after 1910) and he raised "fine horses" according to cousins...had one daughter Mollie Shelton who never married. There whereabouts "unknown" 4. Willie W Smith was born August 1878. He was not located in 1920. 5. Walter E Smith was born Feb 1884 and died 1914. Buried at Bluestone Any help will be appreciated.
