- Research Note*: 2016; from Geoff Duncan, Birmingham, AL (Ancestry.com note on James Smith's 1830 Troup Co. GA census):
James W Smith b. 1780 m. Nancy Stephens 1796; 1814-20 Clarke Co, GA; 1825-7 Fayette Co, GA; 1840 Chambers Co, AL; 1850 wife Nancy in Troup Co, GA.; Principal=Nancy (?) - (Referenced Name) Biography: 19 February 2018; William Wynn Smith lived adjacent to or near other Smith's after moving to Tallapoosa County in the mid-1840's. But those Smith's can be traced back to a Bradley Smith of Oglethorpe County, and William W. does not seem to have any connection to them.
William W. Smith was in 1840 Troup. He was living near an elderly William and Mary Smith, but they were both born in Georgia and so could not have been his parents, since he was born in North Carolina. William and Mary also lived adjacent to Lee Roy Jackson in the 1860 census.
The elderly William Smith (1780 - 1869) and wife Mary (1785 - 1855) had a daughter Sarah (1820 -1895) as she appears in their household in the census, and the three of them are the only marked graves in a small family cemetery in Troup. Barnett Smith was living next door to William, Mary and Sarah in 1850. And so I'm reasonably sure that Barnett and Sarah Smith were siblings and were children of William and Mary Smith. Barnett was also near them in 1860. No other children are known. All were born in Georgia.
William Wynn's land was on a lot adjacent to land owned by Joseph J. Smith. But Joseph J. Smith is closely associated, not with William, but with Jeremiah Ray Smith. And they seem to be the sons of James W. Smith, who moved from Troup to Chambers Co. AL. Simeon L, William K., and James G. Smith are probably his sons as well.
The only other Smith in the Antioch area not yet mentioned was William S. Smith. He appears to have been from Rutherford County, adjacent to Spartanburg Co. SC. He seems to be the father of William Wynn Smith. He owned land adjacent to Wm. Wynn, as did James Mayfield, who married the elder William S.'s daughter Mary. William S., the elder, moved to Heard County, GA and is found there in the 1840 and 1850 census records. He and his wife were born in NC, and were from Rutherford County according to other researchers, and this agrees with census records.
The name Winn Smith or Wynn Smith suggests a connection to a particular Smith family in the area of Spartanburg Co., SC / Rutherford Co. NC. According to a family history preserved in the Duncan branch of the family, William Wynn Smith "went back to South Carolina to marry." So he must have lived in Spartanburg Co. SC at one time, and so his father must have been there as well.
According to other researchers, William S. Smith was William Slade Smith, of Rutherford Co. NC, who married Sarah Hill Burge.
The author does have two autosomal matches to a Watson Sanford Smith of DeKalb Co. GA. William Slade is said by some to have had a son Sanford. I have not been able to connect this Sanford to William, since he was born in South Carolina.
The author, a descendant of William Wynn Smith, has several autosomal connections on the AncestryDNA test to descendants of other presumed children of William S. Smith. Here are their Ancestry.com User ID's and connections to William S.:

- Biography*: Simeon L. Smith was living in Harris County, GA, in 1830, p. 188 in the census, adjacent to Joseph Rogers. Males for Simeon were 1 _ _ _ _ 2 and females were 1 _ _ _ 1. For Joseph Rogers, males were 2 2 _ _ _ _ 2 and females were 1 _ _ _ 1
Simeon L. Smith was in Troup County in 1840, in the 699th District. He was between 40 and 50 years old. His listing was 1 1 1 _ _ _ 2 for males, and 1 1 1 _ _ 1 for females.
Simeon was in 1850 Harris County, in Whitaker's District, page 104. He was 62, and born in Maryland. His wife Lavina was 60, and born in SC. Children still at home in 1850 were John G., age 23, and William R., age 21. Lovina Perry, age 16, was also in this household.
Simeon was still living in 1860 in Harris County, in the 679th District, page 622 in the census. He was age 68, born in MD, and wife Lavinia was age 66, born in SC.
Simeon L. may have been connected to Jeremiah Smith in Troup, who had a son named Simeon L.
Jeremiah Smith of Troup County granted land to Simon L. Smith in 1842. See Troup Deed Book H, pages 238 and 243.
Simeon L. Smith sold land to C. Rogers in 1839, Troup Deed Book G, p. 287. And he sold land to D. B. Hunter in 1845, Troup Deed Book J, page 67.
And J. and J. Bellah sold land to Simon Smith in 1833, Troup Deed Book C, page 168. And W. Womack sold land to Simon L. Smith in 1840, Troup Deed Book G, p. 481.
Simeon L Smith was partners with Collin Rogers and Joseph Rogers in some kind of mill (difficult to read) in Troup Co, GA. Court case was Troup County Superior Court Cases for Joseph Rogers 4/1838:7. It is dated two places as April 1838 and April 1840. Case was about the estate of Joseph Rogers deceased. - Note*: Simeon Lowry Smith may have been the uncle, or cousin, to the others in this tentative grouping, rather than a sibling. There may have been more than one Simon L. or Simeon L. Smith in this area of Georgia.

- (Witness) Research Note: 22 September 2018; Smiths of Troup Co. GA -- 15th District
The Smiths of interest to me in Troup County, GA all lived near each other in the 15th Militia District of Troup County. This was the district immediately across the state line from Chambers County, AL. I have a land lottery map of the 15th District, which shows various Smiths living in close proximity to each other.
William W. Smith lived on Lot 27 in the 15th District. Joseph J. Smith was on the two lots adjoining him to the south: Lots 26 and 25. Adjoining Lots 26 and 26 to the west were Lots 63 and 64. Jeremiah R. Smith (with son Simeon L) lived on Lot 63, and Jeremiah Smith (presumably Jeremiah R.) also owned Lot 64. William S. Smith owned Lot 17, to the immediate NE of Lot 27, owned by William W. Smith.
Barnett Smith owned Lot 106, which was to the west of William W. Smith with three intervening land lots. William R. Smith owed Lot 115, which adjoined Barnett’s Lot 106 on the west.
North of Lot 27 (William W. Smith), with three intervening land lots, was Lot 31, portions of which were owned by William K. Smith, Henry G. Smith, James Smith, W. R. Smith, J. W. (James W.?) Smith and Joseph J. Smith.
James W. Smith appears to be the father of most if not all the men just mentioned with the exception of William S. Smith and William W. Smith. James W. Smith was from Fayette County, GA, and later moved to Chambers County, AL.; Principal=William Wynn Smith3

My William Kirkham Smith was in the 1850 census in Lafayette Co, Ark (Columbia Co was cut from part of Lafayette Co). There are several Smith's that we are monitoring that came from the GA/AL state line area that lived within about a 2 square mile area in Ark. By 1860, my Wm K is in Natchitoches Parish, LA. Of particular interest to me is the fact that there was a Nancy Smith, aged 81, enumerated with his family. She had not been with them in 1850. By 1870, my guy is in Upshur Co, TX where he is believed to have died abt 1883.
I sure like a James Smith I found marrying a Mary Kirkham in 1796 Columbia Co, GA as his father. There is a James in the 1830 census in Troup Co that has sons in the right age range for my Wm & he's definitely old enough to have married in 1796.1 - Birth*: 23 September 18121

- (Witness) Research Note: 22 September 2018; Smiths of Troup Co. GA -- 15th District
The Smiths of interest to me in Troup County, GA all lived near each other in the 15th Militia District of Troup County. This was the district immediately across the state line from Chambers County, AL. I have a land lottery map of the 15th District, which shows various Smiths living in close proximity to each other.
William W. Smith lived on Lot 27 in the 15th District. Joseph J. Smith was on the two lots adjoining him to the south: Lots 26 and 25. Adjoining Lots 26 and 26 to the west were Lots 63 and 64. Jeremiah R. Smith (with son Simeon L) lived on Lot 63, and Jeremiah Smith (presumably Jeremiah R.) also owned Lot 64. William S. Smith owned Lot 17, to the immediate NE of Lot 27, owned by William W. Smith.
Barnett Smith owned Lot 106, which was to the west of William W. Smith with three intervening land lots. William R. Smith owed Lot 115, which adjoined Barnett’s Lot 106 on the west.
North of Lot 27 (William W. Smith), with three intervening land lots, was Lot 31, portions of which were owned by William K. Smith, Henry G. Smith, James Smith, W. R. Smith, J. W. (James W.?) Smith and Joseph J. Smith.
James W. Smith appears to be the father of most if not all the men just mentioned with the exception of William S. Smith and William W. Smith. James W. Smith was from Fayette County, GA, and later moved to Chambers County, AL.; Principal=William Wynn Smith5
