Beverly,
This is an old posting, but I just now read it. Maybe by now you have already found your Smith ancestors. If not, the person you want to contact is Betty (Smith) Horne at bettyhorne@bellsouth.net who has a family history site: Our Families, A to Z. She can tell you about John Raleigh Smith and Samuel John Smith who married Alsa Maddox (Maddocks). Send her an email and she will respond. I believe that my Hampton Hilliard Smith whose father was Jesse Smith, b. 1800 in GA may have come from Wm. B. Buckner who was the father of Samuel Hohn Smith. Good luck. Let me know if you made contact. zenogo1@yahoo.com or at this site. Zenna Smith
