On 11 Feb 1807, Edward Smith made his Will in Carter County, Tennessee. Mrs. Reeves provided a transcript in her book, and I also have a copy of an original hand-made copy made by Edward’s grandson-in-law Charles Noden George in the early 1800's, and was shared with me by Jeff George who has the original copy.

In his will he named "my four sons, Nicholas, Jacob, William, and Daniel". He named wife "Catherine". "my youngest daughter Nancy", "the heirs of John Smith, deceased", and daughters: Catherine Peeveyhouse, Sarah Bowman, Margaret Gabert, Susannah Campbell, heirs of my daughter Mary Smith, heirs of my daughter Elizabeth Dunkin. Wife Catherine and son Daniel Smith and Julius Dugger, Esquire as Executors. Signed: Edward Smith. Witnessed by Matthias Wagoner and John Heaton.

The Will was acknowledged in court on 15 Apr 1807 by Nathaniel Taylor, Godfrey Carringer and William Boyd, so that means Edward had died by that dat
