Hello: I usually obtain my SMITH ancestry from Johnson or Clinton Co - where my GGG, GG
and Great Grand Parents (Joseph, Robert, William T. lived from 1828 to 1873. However, many
of the Smith family - originally from Wythe and Grayson Co. Virginia - did move into
Marion, Franklin, Greene and other counties after 1851. I am especially looking for Joseph
Allen Smith (1848 IND to 1931 IND) who may have lived in your county after 1851. He is
buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Clinton Co (Memorial # 10458484) and was Wed twice - 1st to
Margaret Jennette Gregg (1 son Frank) and 2nd to Laura Ellen Parker (McCarty) 0 kids. Both
of the wives probably lived in Ripley in the 1860 to 1890 range, BUT both are also Buried
in Oak Hill Cemetery. The Joseph Allen Smith (III) is a son of my GG grand father Robert
Smith (1808 VA - 1873 IND) and his 1st wife Eleanor McKinney from 1834 to 1851 & are
buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Johnson Co. IND. Anything you can find on Joseph
Allen, either o!
f two wives (Margaret or Laura) would be appreciated. I have had great success from Ms.
Linda Talley at the Johnson Co. IND Museum in Franklin - perhaps you know her also.
