First name could be Masy or Mary. Note: # 31 Jasper Smoot wife's surname looks like "hias/hias" but it should be Bias. Also there are 2 letters above and between the first and last name that looks like "ve". This could be "ne" which would make more sence. The term "nee" was used before a wife's surname to identify it as a maiden name. The name appears to be written Mary ve hias/hivs Note: #33 Lawrance Swann is listed as female. Note: There is no listing for District 1 for the year of 1879. Some of 1878 for the District of Barboursville appears on page 28 with the 1879 records.
