Bev, Nope, I don't have a William and my Smiths were in Somerset Co. in the 1790's at least. My Christian Smith got charged in the Whiskey Rebellion for making Rye Whiskey and not paying taxes on it. Found this out in "Wilhelms and Wilhelms Charge". No Deahl, either, pardon the pun. Ray -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: [email protected] > Ray and the rest of P.
