I am trying to trace my mother's family. She was Phoebe Smoot born 1915 in Davies co.
Her parents were: Elijah Bassett Smoot & Della Mae Tannehill. Married sometime
1912-1914. Probably in Davies Co. Della was married before this to William Payne Smoot
& had 3 sons, James, Dewey & Bob. William died maybe 1910-1912 then she married
Elijah Smoot (William Payne's cousin). Phoebe was only child from this union. I think
Elijah's parents were: Phoebe Alice Smith Smoot (mother0 and his father William Henry
Harrison Smoot. Della's parents were: William H. Tannehill (father) and (mother)
Lucinda Edmondson Tannehill. I was always told Della was born someplace besides Davies
County, IN and abandoned at 11 years old in Washington, but I don't know if that is
true.
I would greatly appreciated any info that would help to trace my mother's ancestory.
