I am sorry to hear about Miriam's passing. I have not been on this board
in quite some time. I thought I would post the Bible record that I
have. I received it from Edwin Smith(deceased) of Decatur County, Ga.
some time back. It is the Smith Family Bible. It is a one page script
reprinted here verbatim:

This Rebecca Smith must be the mother of Hilliard J. Emanuel, who first
married Rebecca Alligood in 1838 in Tallahassee. They moved to
Decatur County where Hilliard's father David had land. The 1832
Decatur County Tax Digest lists David as agent for Hilliard. The land
listed was 250 acres of pine Section 21 Lot 440. A portion of this land
is still in my family. Therefore David's wife must be the Rebecca listed
above. If anyone has any other thoughts, I am very open to them. This is my best guess.
Hilliard J. Emanuel was killed by indians, according to family history.
The location is unknown, as is his grave. Rebecca Alligood Emanuel
then married Otis Smith. She lived with her son until her death in 1904.
Mr. Edwin Smith was a small child when she died, and she lived with his
family. He related the story to me.
