Notes

From TN Smithology: Mary Drucilla Smith's Family Bible in in the possession of Mrs. William Stell of Russellville, Alabama (who also has the Ramsey Bible). This Bible record claims Shadrack Smith and Nancy Bailey as her parents and Alexander Smith and Diana Phelps as her grandparents. Mary Drucilla named her first child Alexander Smith Grisham, probably for her grandfather.
