Hey Vicki this is Mary Ann granddaughter of Stella. Granny Cuma Smith was only married one time and that was to John A Taylor between 1934 and 1936. Cuma's daughter Orprah was the one married to William Burton Smith. They were my grand aunt and grand uncle. Cuz Helen passed away little over a year ago. All of Cuma's children were illegitimate. They were Garland, Orprah, Stella, Mima and baby girl who died in 1906. When I was in Scott Co VA last fall I spent quite a bit of time at Gate City Court House and have located some census records. What reunion, this is first I've heard of it? Please send me info on that as well. Cuz Helen for several years prior to her death gave me quite a bit that she had from Burt and Orprah's Bible. I believe that what I worked up from everything and sent her was passed on to either Cotton or Shorty when she died. They haven't gotten back to at all with any updates but Helen did tell me their were some updates that was needed. She died before she could give that to me. We are indeed in same line. I was wondering where you disappeared to. My sister periodically checks to see if you are back online as well. Welcome back.
