Rose,
I'm wondering if this is the Wm. Smith family that brought his sister
Catherine Smith Zike, widow and her son from Jessamine Co. Ky. in 1828. This
Catherine later m. David Brown. The Brown family is a neighboring family of
the Wm. Smith family and the Tillison family in Union Twp. in the 1830's and
1840's. I've been researching the neighbors in hopes of finding clues. This
account is in Chadwick p. 882. It doesn't give any more info on the Smith
family. I'm heading out on a week's genealogy trip this morning, so if anyone
answers my other letter about Martha Smith Tillison Phares and Eve Rice
Smith, thank you so much and I WILL be answering.
I hope someone knows something about this Smith family. Maybe there is
someone in Union Twp. who knows about this Smith family. Does anyone know of
someone who might know? Years ago, my Dad came home from his job saying that
a man from over by Blue Ridge was in buying a car from him and said that he
knew that his wife who was a Smith was somehow related to the Tillisons.
Dad's not into genealogy and didn't think to relate this to me until much
later.
