I think the Smith line that you indicated probably connects to mine. My great grandmother was Allwilda Kelly, who married William Blaker. Her father was Harrison Kelly, who married Susanna Teets. His father was Joseph Kelly, who married Dorcas Browning, daughter of Meshack Browning (buried in Friendsville, Md. Allie Kelly Blaker had several sisters (I have photo of her with two of them). I think she may have had a brother Luther but it may have been an uncle. I really have a lot of loose ends that I'm trying to put together. My computer crashed with all my family tree data and despite having most of it on hard copy I'm still having to recreate the tree. Thanks for any help you can provide.
