I am researching the lines of George M. SMITH. The information I have obtained, from the History of Sangamon Co. is as follows: He was born on April 23, 1785 in Virginia. His parents moved when he was a child to Henry Co., KY. George M. SMITH and Matlilda DOWDALL were married August 14, 1810 in Shelby Co., KY and afterwards lived some time in Henry Co., KY where they had four children, moving in 1824 to Jennings Co, IN where one child was born, returning to Henry Co. where one child was born. They moved to Sangamon Co, IL in March, 1834 in what is now Island Grove. He died February 27, 1842. I have not been able to identify the ancestors of George M. SMITH. I have also been unable to identify the ancestors of Brawner DOWDALL, who was the father of Matilda DOWDALL. Matilda's mother was Alice HOLMES. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
