Rebecca Smothers (b abt 1807 TN, m Thomas Brown) and Milkey Smothers (b abt 1812 TN, m James Winfrey) were children of John R. Smothers and Catherine Sherwood, who lived with their family in middle Tennessee (Rutherford Co., Sumner Co.) in the first half of the 19th Century. John died 1855 in Franklin Co., IL
Rebecca had at least two children (Andrew J. and Jane Brown) but I have no other details on her life and descendants. I also have no further info on Milkey (which is how she is most commonly refered to in the few records I have seen)
Please write if you know more of Rebecca & Milkey
