| Notes |
| email from Charles House |
Thank you for your work compiling the information on Thomas Smith III. I have one thing that you may take with a grain of salt, and another that for sure needs looking into.
Depending on which source you turn up Thomas Smith and his wife were born in Waverly Rhode Island or he was born in NC and she SC. I'm writing a book on the early history of Clay County Kentucky so this matter is of some interest to me. I have been unable to clear it up, though, and if you could be of any help I'd be most grateful.
The other point I want to make is that you have Thomas III's daughter's Eunice and Kezziah born in Clay County way before it even was a county. (It was formed in 1807). Not only that you have them born in Clay County before even the first settler's cabin was said to have been there (1798) according to numerous historical accounts. Since we know that Thomas III bought land in Madison County on Silver Creek in 1803 it's probably a safe bet that the girls were born in that county. It's true that Clay was formed from Madison, but not until 1807, and in case Silver Creek is well within the present day borders of Madison.
I would change their place of birth to say "Kentucky." You'd be safe there.
Thanks for your attention to this small matter. And thanks for all the work!
