Samuel Smith, grandson of Mary Kirklen Smith Hamill
When I was growing up ('50's and 60's), I knew a man in the Chattanooga, TN area named Sam Smith, the newphew of Daniel Rawlings Hamill of Hixson, TN.Census records confirm Sam as a grandson of Daniel's mother: born Mary Kirklen, married first to Joseph Smith, and after his death to John Ferguson Hamill.What I don't know is who Sam Smith's parents were - his surname suggests his father was a child of Mary's first marriage (Daniel was born of her second marriage - to John Hamill), but I know no more than that, and nothing about Sam's mother.Census records suggest he was born in 1897.He was married to Virginia Smith (maiden name unknown), and they had a daugher, born in 1937, named Janice Smith.I'm also interested in any information about Janice, e.g., whether she's still alive.Death dates for Sam and Virginia (b. 1908 in Kansas) would be good, too.
