1880 Geneva County, AL census is a poor copy at my library
1900 Geneva County, AL
Goodman, Nancy, 72, Widow in the household of Benjamin F. Smith, as mother in
law. (BF is remarried by now and his other MIL Sarah Williams is also in the
HH)
* My ggg grandmother was Mary E. (Emer per son's death certificate) Goodman
Smith, 1st wife of Benjamin F. Smith. They lived in Geneva County, AL. My
Mary E. was born 1851 and died 1887.
I have been told my gg gf, Henry Dennis Smith, son of Mary E. Goodman and
Benjamin F. Smith was named after his grandfather, Dennis Goodman. This is
the only family I have found that matches the time frame and name trail
through the census.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
