I have only recently began researching my Smith family and traced my gg-grandfather William James Smith to Scott County Indiana. His father Robert was the son of Daniel who was supposedly the son of Daniel & Jerusha Scott Smith. I find Jerusha in Scott County Indiana as early as 1820 and a lead from someone else led me to Culpepper County VA where I found a marriage record. That's about all I knew about them until seeing the message board. I would be interested in anything you can share about the family of Joel & Mary Taylor Smith. You can e-mail me direct if you'd like at jsmithmilan@sbcglobal.net. Thanks so much!
