Message Board Post:
The mistake in Benjamin Smith's name was created by William Conrad who published a
very complete, but unsupported by documentation, listing of the Stitt family. I have in
my possession the original 1834 Bible of Benjamin Smith. Benjamin wrote in the book and
listed is name WITHOUT the Lo.
I also have an original of a questionnaire completed my Michael Harvey Smith for his son
J. Kent Smith in which he lists his father as Benjamin Smith WITHOUT the Lo. Mr. Conrad
has done our family a great disservice by allowing his error go uncorrected. There is
extensive research available by our family members on Melvin Brice Smith by some of his
children. I can put you in touch with them if you contact me at dscpinc(a)sbcglobal.net
