Elihu Skeens/Sarah Huff-Smith
Was wondering if anyone has information on this couple.My gggrandfather was John M. Smith.He was the sole product of Sarah Huff's first marriage to _____ Smith.According to family "legend", John's father was killed in the Civil War.I cannot find any information on this first marriage, or even my ggggrandfather's first name.The only information that I have is that John M. was born Dec. 1865 & that Sarah married Elihu Skeens in Dec. 1868.They are listed in the 1880 census in Lower Johns Creek, KY.In that census, my gggrandfather is listed as John M. Skeens, rather than Smith, perhaps indicating he was adopted by Elihu or that they listed everyone w/ the same last name for continuity.
Any info that might be helpful is appreciated.Thanks.
