Subject: Jacob Smith Family
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2000 18:24:49 EST


I am descended from the Morganton SMITH line. I have known that my
gr-gr-grandfather was William Dallas Smith who died in 1920 and he is buried
along with other family members at Morganton Baptist Cemetery. I know that
after the death of his father, Henry E. Smith, the minor children went to
live with Jacob Smith. I have wondered what the connection was and
discovered over the weekend that he was in fact the father of Henry....and
grandfather of William Dallas.

I would love to hear from anyone with connections to this Smith family. I'd
like more information on this Jacob Smith. I understand they came from North
Carolina before 1850 (then Gilmer County). What part? Was it Haywood
County, NC?

THANKS!
