Person:Thomas Smith (520)

Disambiguation

NOT to be confused with another Thomas Smith (1790-1844) who married Elizabeth Snead 6 Feb 1812 in Bath County, Virginia. 1810 & 1820 Census records listed on this page almost certainly belong to THIS Thomas Smith, as his wife's family members, Thomas Pullin, Samuel Pullin [both uncles of Elizabeth Pullin] and her mother Elizabeth are listed living closeby. The 1810 Census shows that Thomas Smith and Elizabeth Pullin had a young son, under age 10, proving that that record could NOT have been the Thomas Smith that married Elizabeth Snead in 1812 [two years later]. Additional research needed.
