Deanna QUESTION??? What you are saying is that there is a second Smith relationship. Mary daughter of Minor is married to Benjamin Smith and now we have Martha daughter of William Winn(son of Minor and Margaret) married to Matthew Smith ??? so that Martha Smith granddaughter of Minor is not daughter of Mary Winn Smith.
