Larry, I did get an answer about the reunion. Here is what I got.
"Hi Clay
The Grove Hill Church Reunion is the FIRST Saturday in June at 11:00 am - in the church. Bring a chair and a covered dish for "dinner on the grounds" . We have a brief meeting with devotional/hymn singing, business, and time for sharing of memories etc.

Maybe we can meet up this year. My connection to the Smith family is through my great grandmother Ella V Smith, the daughter of Samuel Foster and Polly Thigpen Smith. Ella married my GGrandfather, William Washington Nance.
I've gotten most of my information on the Smith/Carrol families from Mr James Smith. He lives in Pennsylvania. Are you related?
