My great-great-great-grandfather was John Mack Smith (2/26/1831 - 1/13/1900), Married to Nancy Ellen Hickman (2/4/1834 - 8/15/1896). Their son John F Smith (2/8/1852 - 11/16/1923) married Emma Delphenia Baldwin (3/26/1855 - 10/20/1947); their son Ray Ross Smith (9/28/1890 in Boyd, KS - 12/17/1973) married Edna May Becker (6/8/1890 - 10/12/1985); their son Wilmer LaVern Smith is my maternal grandfather. I'd like to know if there is any information on John Mack Smith & his family to see how far back they could be traced. Thanks!
