It looks like Dorsey Smedley was the son of Amanda Beckwith and John C. Smedley, who were married 2 Dec 1883 in Sevier County, Arkansas. John was 50 and Amanda was 37. Apparently Dorsey was their only child, and Amanda was widowed by 1900. The James Beckwith living near Amanda Smedley in 1900 was her brother. They also had a sister named Virginia "Jennie" Beckwith, born about 1866. These are children of James H. Beckwith and Martha Daugherty. Martha was a sister to my 3rd great grandfather William Daugherty. I'm sorry I don't know anything about your gg grandmother Kate.
