  • Notes 
    • My farthest back Smith ancestor that is provable is Joseph and Elisabeth Hallum Smith. Joseph was born ca 1745 probably in York Pa. Elizabeth Hallum was the daughter of William and Martha (?) Hallum.

      Joseph died in what is now Pickens County SC in the year 1814. Based on a disposition by Mary Porter, oldest child of Joseph and Elizabeth Smith, for a Rev. War pension for Job Smith, died 1837 Pickens County SC, Joseph and Job were probably brothers. Strong conjecture is that they were the sons of Job Smith Sr and Hannah Smith. There is conjecture of a couple of lines back, that look good, but I have seen no proof. ...I know Joseph received two land grants totaling 550 acres on upper waters of Big Beaverdam Creek in present day Anderson Co. SC. Around 1800 he moved to the intersection of 18 mile Creek and Golden creek in present day Norris, Pickens Co SC where he died in 1814. I THINK he received a grant of 100 acres near present day Donalds SC in Abbeville Co 2 Dec 1766. A Joseph Smith did, and Mary Smith Porter was born 8 Feb 1768. A Job Smith, probably Senior and father of Joseph, received a 250 acre land grant 6 Nov 1765 in present day Abbeville Co SC close to where Joseph received his. I THINK they moved to Columbia County Georgia around 1769 and back to Abbeville Co SC around 1780.

      My Basil Smith was born 1772 in Georgia.
