I have finally figured some more out about my Jacob Smith and he has 2 more sons that I do not have names for. they are with him in the 1810 census. one that is unknown was born between 1800-1810... Maybe your Peter? maybe not. The other son was born between 1795-1800 but also might be between 1800-1810 depending on where Abraham was counted since he was born in 1800.

Patsy, I've been very remiss in not checking in on this blog site. All the obivous reasons, I'm sure. However, you had asked me a question that I never answered......how I descend from John Lee? First off, I am aware that he fought in the Rev. and that some of his descendants are in the DAR. I have not done so. John Lee's one son, Edward Lee, was my gr-x3 grandfather. Edward's one son, Alexnader Rigdon Lee, was my gr-x2 grandfather and Alexnader's on daughter, Martha Lee, was my great-grandmother. Her one son, Clarence, was my grandfather, who was my mom's father. Whew! hope that answers the question asnd it provides you with the info you were wanting. Please stay in touch. Thanks!

Yes if your brother is a Direct Male Descendant of Peter he is the one to do the test.

There are currently

14 Smith Families from Kentucky
6 Smith Families from Ohio
50+ Smith Families from Virginia/West Virginia

that have tested.

So even if your Smiths arent related to mine well be sure to find ones you are related to and be able to direct you in the right path at least.

these are all the families that are a part of the Southern Smiths DNA project

Hi this is the Will where Jesse of Cabell County is with two brothers

It would be really nice if you now anyone (a direct male descendant) of Peter Smith that is willing to take a DNA test.

theres a couple different Peters in Virginia some from Montgomery County (Botetourt area) North East Montgomery by Franklin County was a Peter Smith

I think that Jacob Smith that Married Elizabeth Harless had either a DAD or a son Named peter or maybe both.

I know that Jacob Smith who married Eva Shilling he had a Dad supposedly named Peter Smith.

I know that it has been suggested and sometimes we wonder about Peter Smith because there is a Peter Smith that lives practically in the same land as my Jacob Smith possible his brother or Father.

also Henry Smith had a son named Peter.

I am a direct male descendant of Peters Brother Jacob Marion Smith I have taken a DNA test.

Also Jacob Marion Smiths son James Buchannan married Cinderella daughter of Peter. (But not your Peter)

I wonder though.

Is your Peter related to my peter?

also your Peter is in the Library of Virginia Land Deeds for Cabell County i think

Also your Peter Smith is in the Lambert Files but I dont know if he talks any about his family or is just in the transcribed portion of the census...

oh yeah and Peter is in the 1860 census of cabell county too.

theres a couple family trees out there that dont really have any proof that say his fathers name is John Smith born about 1768

But they doesnt match with the 1840 census for an old man living with him being 60-70 years old

1840-70=1770

close... depending on who gave the info huh?

Do you know of any Living Direct Male Descendants of your Peter Smith? If you do. It would be awesome if they gave a sample of their Y-DNA to Family Tree DNA.

yes I have what would you like to know about him?

He is in the 1840 Census of Cabell and the 1850 Census of Cabell he married Asinith in either 1826 or 1826 in Cabell

in the 1840 census he has an old man living with him 60-70 years old

is that the peter you are talking about?

well I wrote a really long messgae and it just disapeared out of nowhere...

What would you like to know about the Smiths of Cabell/Wayne County Virginia (West Virginia)

See what?

Hi Patsy... I am wondering if it is Paris Baisden and Rachel Brumfield that you have in your line... and if so, what kind of info you have on the two of them!?!? If you could let me know, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Hi Patsy,
Thank you so much for your offer to help! For my female Patriot, I have her obituary which mentions her service, would that be enough proof of service for her? Her service is mentioned in other articles and biographies but the obituary is the most "official" proof I can find. Someone told me that DAR was planning a book on female Patriots and that she might be in it, though I don't really know who to contact to ask about that (genealogy@dar.org?). For Moses, I have service records but am having a heck of a time tying them to his family (he didn't file a pension). He also signed a paper in support of the American cause so I could also try and go down that route with him... Anyway, thanks again for any help you can give, I appreciate it.

My family mostly is from Braxton, Clay, and Nicholas Counties, WV

Can you give me any dates on these people and where in York Co they may have lived? Also any siblings would be helpful

According to a December 17, 2009 article appearing in The Charleston Gazette, the West Virginia Division of Culture and History's Archives and History Section recently upgraded the server to its free, online searchable database. As a result, the more than 5 million birth, death and marriage certificates issued in West Virginia are now easier to access online.
