This photograph was in a book purchased from Mr. Noah Bradley of Powatan, Virginia. Mr. Bradley has published a thorough and informative book on the Smith family as descended from George Smith, the brother of Captain John Smith.
This view is different from what I currently have on my homepage. I am reviewing the book at the present, and possibly will change my family information in the near future.
(18 March 2004) I have received a copy of a book written by Jason Henry Smith, a descendant of William Thomas Smith of Wheeler Fork of Big Skin Creek in Lewis Co., WV that verifies the family connection to William Sharp Smith and on back to Christopher Smith of England. After reading this book, I cannot agree with Mr. Bradley's assumption that we descend from Capt. John Smith's brother, George. The book confirms our research of the Smith line was the correct one and that we do not descend from George Smith, brother of Capt. John Smith.
