Connie, Yes, I have looked at Mourning Bearden Smith and her husband, William Smith and noticed he was from PA.  Also there is a another Smith Family that is connected to the Beardens and Winns in SC.  It is an interesting connection, and it might be traced to the Smiths in Fauquier & Loudoun Cos. VA.  I haven't tried to find out where these Smiths originated.  Court Record in Fairfield Co. SC.  Book 1, Pg. 186.  6 Sep 1794.  Jacob Bearden married Winifred Smith, daughter of Nathaniel and Mary Polly (Langston) Smith.  Witnesses Wm. Winn and M. Winn.  This William Winn is reported to be the son of Minor & Margaret Conner Winn but who is the M. Winn.  Could this M. Winn be the Minor Winn that was the the son of Wm.  & Rosa Hampton Winn?  Jacob is reported to be a descendant of Lettice Winn & John Bearden but I don't know how.   There were Nathaniel Smiths in the Smith Family of Benjamin Smith husband of Elizabeth Winn Smith (d. of Minor & Margret Conner Winn).  Benjamin Smith had a brother named Nathaniel Smith.  Could this Nathaniel Smith with a daughter named Winifred be a nephew of Benjamin Smith?

So Mourning Bearden Smith was also a grand  daughter of Minor and Margaret and a Smith. I DO NOT see a Matthew with this group of Smith's but have not look very  hard.
