    Is your smith line from that area of Virginia as well ?

    My Great grandfather William Harvey Smith (1866-1962) was from around that area.
    His father William B Smith (1826-1910) also was from Scott County.
    My Grandfather Thomas Jefferson Smith was born in 1892

      My grandfather’s family were the Head’s in Speers Ferry. His name was Worley Head and he moved to Idaho when young to herd sheep and help support his widowed mother. His father was James Patton Head and grandfather was Levi Head.
      They lived on Copper Ridge near the Clinch river. The family moved to Kingsport later. Some of the family was buried on the land on the ridge and later moved to Kingsport Oak hill Cemetery. We visited family last year and there are a lot of Head’s buried in that cemetery. Haven’t found a Head cemetery in the area but Gilliam was a family name and there is a Gilliam cemetery. There are also gravestones on the old property but since its private land we did not walk there to investigate further. Did find an old rock chimney where there cabin was in the late 1800’s. Fascinating stuff.

    Hi Lynne, I just saw this, I am looking for a James “SONNY’ Monroe Head who was the son of James and Elizabeth Ann lewis Head. he was suppose to have died in 1934 in Va. but so far have not found his burial place. I have all the info on the family, just curious where and when he died for sure. Cant find a death record for certain folks just keep telling me he died there. I do know the names you mention in your post, but they are not in my direct line of Heads.

    Sue
