Smith __________ The above transcription was made to help those who may be tracing their families thru this period. To my knowledge, this 'Smith' may be some relation to my Hudson lines, but at this point, I don't know who he is. Elizabeth Hudson (sister to Frederick Hudson) did marry Nathaniel Harrison Smith, live and die in the county, however, I have done no research at this time on that family.
