I am interested in the Smith family of Johnston County, NC as they may be connected with my Rice family. I am posting an outline of the Smith family below and would appreciate any corrections/input, etc.
Thanks!
Outline (Rough) of John Smith Family:
John Smith, Sr. died Feb. 1793 in Jefferson Co., TN according to Knox County, Tennessee - Superior Court Record Book B. 1797-1804. Part 2; m. Elizabeth Whitfield according to Whitfield, Bryan, Smith and related Families (How do we know he really married a Whitfield? Who is this John Smith exactly and where did he really come from?)
John Smith had the following descendants:
1. Samuel Smith died between 1794 and 1794; m. Edith Whitfield (???). Samuel Smith had daughter Nancy Smith who married Simon Turner, the grandparents of Martha "Patsy" Smith who married Thomas Rice, son of John Rice.
2. John Smith. Jr. d. before 1793 possibly in Hawkins CO., TN; some say he married Sarah West or Sarah Cullen...is it possible he married a daughter of Gideon Allen? It does look like he definitely married secondly (later marriage) to Unknown Bailey(children of John Smith, Jr. below in no particular order)
