I am a beginner...thanks This is strange. My My great great Grandfather was Lewis Latane Smith m to Mary Moore Anderson. (would love info on Moores!)They owned a place called Hillfork in Matthews Co Va. Can anybody tell me anything about the two of them? I know Mary Moore Anderson Smith was the daughter of Robert Penn Anderson, but I am really interested in Lewis Latane Smith as I have a French Hugenot chair made by His great great--- (c.1660-something) in the den. I believe his mother was a Latane and I do also have a Susan Ransome in the 1600's to early 1700's in that line. She was French hugenot. These lines were all over Essex Co, Matthews, Glouchester and Mobjack Bay They eventually married into the Davises of that area right before the civil war. I have John Brooke Davis comission as an officer of the Confederacy framed and in my den. It is signed by the Gov. of va I am also looking for the owner of my old family seat, Brooke Bank as I have so much furniture from there I would like to show th! em. One ancestor was a William Keeble Davis if this helps at all. His parents were Daniel Davis and Anne Brooke Ransome. Also have an Armistead ancestor. I am new to this so I know I am all over the place But..Thanks for any help and God keep, Emily Brooke Kelly Kelly House Hopewell Va email emily@appomattoxyoga.com
