1. Joseph T.2 Smith (Smith1 Unknown)1 was born Abt. 1828 in GA1, and
died Deceased. He married Sophonia W. Evans1 February 28, 1856 in
Glenville, Barbour Co., Alabama1. She was born Abt. 1833 in GA1, and died

of Russell in the State of Alabama, enumerated on the August 1860.

MF 5 mnth Female
No Children were born During the Civil War period may indicate J.T. Smith
was away during the War. I wonder if he and John Hunter Smith served in the
same unit? I also suspect he could have served in a another Alabama unit or
a Georgia Unit since he lived just over the state line form Columbus
Georgia.
