Here Sue...I added some more family history...I have more. Contact me via e-mail if you are interested. I would like more information on James C. Smith's military record.
Nice to see pics of Smith family members.
ReplyDeleteCame across this site while digging up ancestors. William Frame is brother to Theophilus Smith. Surprising resemblance between my late uncle James C Smith and Wm Frame. And Uncle Jim was bombadier-navigator in B-14's and B-24's. I am great grand daughter to Theophilus and Rebecca Smith.
Thanks for all the informaiton.
Sue
Tell me more...We are distant cousins it would seem.
