Her parents had connections to North Carolina: her mother Mazy Phipps was born in NC, and Benjamin and Mazy Halsey moved from Grayson County, VA, to Alleghany County, NC, sometime between 1920 and 1929. Howard Smith, Hattie's husband, was also born in NC so you are probably correct: I need to look there for their marriage. Thanks again.
