The PHARR family identified in the September Le Ranconteur buried in Rosehill
Cemetery, New Iberia, Iberia Par., is related to the SMITH family buried in
the same cemetery, listed in the June issue. Anna Jane Smith Pharr, Mary
Charlotte Smith Pharr, Ventress Jones Smith and Joseph Jones Smith are siblings, all
descended from Courtland SMITH and Jane BOONE of W. Feliciana Parish.
Courtland SMITH had 12 children by 3 wives; so it is a very large family.
