My three and four times great grandfathers are both called John Smith. My 3 times great grandfather appears in the marriage records of St Mary's Church, Kingsclere, Hampshire in 1813, when he marries Elizabeth Rogers.

However, he lived most of his life in Tuscaloosa Alabama. 

I think I have hit a brick wall when I look for his parents and siblings. I think he  father was William Riley, but there are…
