When my Grandfather Thomas married Viola in 1894 he stated on the back of the marriage license that he was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. That's when I searched and found Daniel and his family in the 1860 Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The names and ages all coincide with with everything we have. In 1870 when John was living with the Zimmerman's in Union County, Illinois he was 14. This means he was born in 1855 or 1856 which matches the 1860 census.
Hoping to get past my SMITH brick wall! According to various censuses and other records, my grandfather, Walter Wesley SMITH's father's name was Frank M. SMITH. Unfortunately, that's where the certainty ends. He could have been born in SC, GA, MS, AR, or TN, (Each of my grandfather's censuses, as well as his sister's had different birthplaces for their father) and I have no idea when he was born, because he died in 1894. My grandfather was born in 1890, and Frank had died by the next census, so I have no idea which Frank Smith might be mine on the 1880 census...
I have been searching every genealogical avenue I can find to help break through my brick wall. My main focus is the lineage of my GG Grandfather Benjamin P (BP) Smith. born in Georgia 1818, lived in Clay co. GA. Married to Sarah (Sallie) Green.
I have had my Uncles Ydna tested and he is R-M269 and is grouped as a line of Nicholas Smith (Virginia clan) that migrated to Franklin co. GA. Wondering if there is a skipped line some where and if anyone else may be from this line and experiencing a similar issue.
My G Grandmother was a Shaw and married BP's son, she came from a Smith line as well but from Hans Heinrich Schmidt, so when trying to research my uncles dna it gets confusing sorting them out.
