Can you tell me what county Hamilton B. Smithee was born in TN?My ggrandmother was born TN and also both of her parents according to an 1880 Independence Co AR census record.I've been told she may have had a brother named Clarence.I am interested in this Hamilton because she named my grandfather Elijah Hamilton Bruce and I have not been able to find if the name of Hamilton is a possible family name being passed down since his siblings did have family names given to them passed down from the Bruce line.Here is my info on my ggrandmother:
Catherine Smithee b. Dec 13, 1829 in Tennessee d. Sept 25, 1920 Sandtown, Independence Co, AR. Married 1st husband, William Gaines Bruce December 16, 1849 in Independence Co, AR. Children: Franklin M. Bruce, John Wesley Bruce, Mary Jane Bruce, Millard Filmore Bruce, George W. Bruce, Elijah Hamilton Bruce, William Gaines Bruce Jr. William Gaines Bruce Sr. died in Civil War.
Catherine then married 2nd husband, George W. Pool. Children: Sarah E. Pool, Rachel E. Pool, Alfred N. Pool, James T. Pool.
1880 Arkansas census states Catherine and both of her parents were born in Tennessee. Am looking for her parents and any siblings.
Catherine Smithee is my ggrandmother.
