Hello all fellow researchers!
I know that my 3rd great grandfather, Zion Cantrell b. about
1821 in SC and his brother, Benjamin Franklin Cantrell b. 1825 in SC,
married sisters, Eliza Smith b. 1822 in GA and Mary Francis "Polly"
Smith b. 1824 in SC, both in Carroll county, GA. I know that Eliza and
Polly's parents were Andrew J. and Nancy Ingram Smith who ended up in
Van Zandt county, Texas.
I am going in about 2 weeks to do extensive research on these
families. Was wondering if any other researcher has gotten any more
info on parents of Andrew J. Smith and Nancy Ingram. Also interested
in other children of Andrew J. and Nancy Ingram Smith. I have another
3rd great grandmother, Permelia Smith b. 1811 in SC, who married
Barnett Hollingsworth. Barnett and Permelia Smith Hollingsworth were
in Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas. I realize this is a long shot, but
I was wondering if Permelia could possibly be related to the other
Smith's. My reason for the possible connection, is that it seems that
several of the many pieces of real estate that Barnett Hollingsworth
bought after his arrival in Texas, were in Van Zandt county, Texas.
Thanks in advance for any additional info.
