Additional Comments:
Appreciation is expressed to Mr. Claude C. Burgess, a member of the staff of 
the Thomaston-Upson Archives, for his excellent research on the Charles Lee 
Smith, Sr. and Anthony Garnett Smith, Jr. families of Talbot and Upson 
counties, Georgia.

Without his fine assistance, we would not know about this Larkin Smith, Sr. 
Bible record in this excellent volume on Talbot County, GA history.
