I have a Smith ancestor, Sarah Catherine Smith. I have no idea when/where she came from, but she married Israel Funk on Feb. 11, 1832. At LEAST 4 of their 5 children were born in Shenandoah Co. (which I've found MANY other ancestors to "bounce" between the counties of that region.) I think it may be VERY possible that my Sarah is related. This is all on my maternal side. On my paternal side, my grandmother, born in GA. was a Johnson. Her Grandfather, J. W. Johnson was also born in GA. in 1835. I got all my information from her when I was young (about 12-we didn't have internet back then = D) I think she said her Johnson family came from.... (it was one of the states north of GA: NC, SC,TN or KY (I'm pretty sure of.) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
