Carolyn, the Franklin Co. Circuit Court Determined Papers, April 1789-Sept. 1791, Microfilm. No. 1986573 contains the following: January 22, 1788. Ralph Smith, John Smith, William Callaway, executors of John Smith, dec'd, agst. Stephen Smith, Bird Smith, executors of Guy Smith, dec'd. I copied this one entry down from the microfilm, and there is more information on this particular lawsuit that I didn't copy down,-- but because I'm not a Smith researcher, I didn't get anything more. Good luck on your research. Marla
