My grandmother was the daughter of John Lewis and Sarah Counts Taylor; according to her, they moved from Shady Valley TN to Denton's VAlley VA to the Saltville/Tumbling Creek area where they took time out to mingle with another nest of Smiths before most of them went back to Denton's. John Lewis's mother was Sarah Taylor Smith, and his father was Robert Smith who seems to have been made from moonbeams and fairy fluff. I haven't really looked into the whole tangle, but given their famous "peculiar turn" and their dedication to sibling sniping, it promises to be fun. I do not intend to belittle these folk; they were intelligent, kind, and courageous to a fault. But that didn't make them any easier to get along with... I'm new to this genealogy thing, b! ut it seems to be like fox hunting--the chase gets to be more fun than the catch. However, I find I've droned on quite a bit without saying much, so I'll scat.

Records indicate they were in King & Queen Counties of Virginia. They traveled westward by way of North Carolina, followed the wilderness road through the mountains to what is now Washington County, Virginia. First Generation James Smith The family of James Smith began on the Holston River in the year 1780. This was before Scott County was formed from Washington County. James' will indicated the identity of his children as heirs to the property which was located on Blue Springs creek on the north fork of the Holston, near Maces Springs in what is now Scott County. It is thought that James parents were William Smith and Elizabeth since a deed reference is mentioned as such. James's spouse was Elizabeth Pitts also mentioned in a deed on adjacent land transactions which may be the property that is mentioned in James's will dated 1830. The will identify the location and description of property where this family lived. The family was farming and active in agriculture as this was the main source of food necessary to be sustained through the long winters. James Smith died on 18 Nov 1833. His annual allowance from the government pension amounted to $33.33 and he collected a total of $90.21 in his lifetime. (District of Columbia Pension Roll of 1835, Vol. 3, page 196). His will was proven on 15 Feb 1834 at Scott County and fortunately was preserved in court records. It is presented here in its entirety.
