Notes

In a rootsweb listing, "Rogers/jacobs/Sharp/Hedrick and More" Hank Rogers wrote "I know John was the brother of Ann Smith Wood and her father is Samuel Smith who was of Halifax Co. in 1765. The Samuel listed there had wife Grissel..." He also stated that "the children listed under Samuel Smith and Grissel Locker didn't seem to associate with any of the these blackwater (sic) river families". - Kent Smith

New Member-2 Smiths- John Smith d 1820 Montgomery Co VA and Unknown Smith from Chatham Co NC(Post ID 2635 )
July 29, 2022 Times Viewed:(255)

Tree Only but member says he's fixing to do an autosomal test. Have recommended, especially since he is a male Smith, to do a YDNA test to prove the line.

His first line appears to be from the Nicholas Smith group GRP-E-M2-3. (Wyatt Smith in Franklin Co VA, son of John Smith, son of Samuel Smtih m Grissel Coleman, son of Nicholas Smith). The second line appears to be from GRP-R-M269-1 which starts with an unknown Smith in Chatham Co NC and goes through Isam (Isham) Smith Sr and Jr who went through Tennessee to Warwick Co IN and thence to Benton Co MO.

As a side note, does anyone have the proof of who John Smith d c 1820 in Franklin Co VA's wife's name was? Was it Frances BURKS or Frances HAYNES and do you have a source for either.
