B.A. Smith who married Elizabeth Barnes in Conway Co, AR
I am looking for any information regarding a B.A. Smith, who married Elizabeth Barnes in Conway County, AR in 1876. They had two children, James H. Smith (who married Cassie Bradley) and Mary M Smith (my gggrandmother) who married Isaac N. Bradley. Elizabeth Barnes is listed as divorced on the 1880 census and both children are listed with the last name Barnes, but it should be Smith. They are listed as gson and gdau of the Head of Household Andrew Barnes. I have information on the Barnes family but have hit a roadblock where B.A. Smith is concerned. I do have a copy of their marriage certificate. According to family legend, Ben Smith was a doctor and may have been a cherokee indian, and that he "ran off." I am looking for any information regarding him and his family line before or after 1880. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
