I have one thing that you may take with a grain of salt, and another that for sure needs looking into.   Depending on which source you turn up Thomas Smith and his wife were born in Waverly Rhode Island or he was born in NC and she SC. I'm writing a book on the early history of Clay County Kentucky so this matter is of some interest to me. I have been unable to clear it up, though, and if you could be of any help I'd be most grateful.   The other point I want to make is that you have Thomas III's daughter's Eunice and Kezziah born in Clay County way before it even was a county. (It was formed in 1807). Not only that you have them born in Clay County before even the first settler's cabin was said to have been there (1798) according to numerous historical accounts. Since we know that Thomas III bought land in Madison County on Silver Creek in 1803 it's probably a safe bet that the girls were born in that county. It's true that Clay was formed from Madison, but not until 1807, and in case Silver Creek is well within the present day borders of Madison.   I would change their place of birth to say "Kentucky." You'd be safe there.   Thanks for your attention to this small matter. And thanks for all the work!   --Charles House Manchester (Clay Co.), Kentucky (December 2006) Children: (Quick Family Chart) i.  James Smith was born in 1774. ii.  Robert Smith , Sr. was born in 1775 in Virginia and died in 1864 in Clay County, Kentucky . iii.  Sarah Smith was born in 1778 in North Carolina. iv.  Jabel Smith was born in 1780 in North Carolina and died on 22 Mar 1858 in Clay County, Kentucky and was buried in Old Smith/Henson Cemetery, Plank, Clay County, Kentucky . v.  Eunice Nancy Smith was born in 1784 in Kentucky and died before 1812 in Clay County, Kentucky . vi.  Thomas Smith IV was born in 1788 in South Carolina and died about 1860 in Clay County, Kentucky . vii.  Margaret "Pegga" Smith was born in 1790 in Georgia and died on 8 Jan 1874 in Clay County, Kentucky . viii.  Kezziah "Kizzie" Smith was born about 1794 in Clay County, Kentucky and died after 1869 in Clay County, Kentucky . ix.  Rhoda Rosanna "Rody" Smith was born on 10 Jun 1799 in South Carolina and died on 16 Jun 1879 in Laurel County, Kentucky and was buried in Taylor Cemetery, Blackwater, Laurel County, Kentucky .
