The following group is created based on YDNA matches. Sometimes trees are incorrect, and sometimes the results of DNA show that believing a particular tree is yours leads to a different direction
than you originally thought. If you see an error in any tree, you are encouraged to send in corrections, sources, etc or post about it on the forum. These lines represent people's research. What the Smith DNA Project attempts to do in those cases is, with sources or reasoning, get the people together in a given group to discuss and then come to a consensus about the data for updating or correcting. We do not remove information without the people who have the trees,
if possible, being aware through a process
so they can confirm or not, or describe the issue if there is a conflict that cannot be easily resolved. We also cannot know,
nor have unlimited time to look for, places on the internet that have additional information. We rely on people whose trees these are,
as project members, and members of this Smith DNA grouping, or interested passersby providing information that will set a new light on members data.
There is a Submit Photo/Document/Source link on every ancestor page, as well
as a Suggest changes and Contact link.

The following Smith’s bought, sold, or witnessed land transactions with another Smiths: Mitchum (Meacham), Kitchen, Jesse, James, Absolum, Drury, and Neil. 1820 census: James the youngest, Coleman, Neil, Jesse, Absolum, Meacham and Drury the eldest (all on same page). Absolum Smith 1788-1856 m. Lydia Baird 2 Oct 1817 Wilson Co., TN. He moved to Morgan & Scott Co., IL Drury Smith b. Bef. 1775. in 1820 he is living with 5 children or grandchildren, all under the age of 10, Neil Smith I144503 m. Betsey Reese 10 Mar 1813 in Wilson Co., TN. He moved to Rutherford, TN 1830-1840. Jesse Smith I31824 m. Fanny Reese. Jesse moved to Scott Co., IL. Jesse Smith has a Y-DNA tester. None of the others have tested Y-DNA. Chatham Co., NC Absalom Smith I82135 1759-1817 married Nancy. Absalom was in Chatham Co., from 1785-1805. In the 1800 census he had a wife, 8 children and 1 slave. From 1813-1817 he was in Logan Co., KY. He owned 175 acres at the time of his death. There are several documents naming all known children Absalom executors are his sons Burton & Needham Smith. Sherrard another son, sued the estate for a debt and won. This case introduces us to many other Smith’s. Absolum, Drury, and Neil Smith of Wilson Co., TN were summoned. See more comments about the case . Many of the court documents are located in the gallery of Absalom Smith on a Smith collaborated Ancestry tree. Absolum of Wilson Co., TN is not a son of Absalom of Logan Co., KY. He could be a nephew. In 1819 Simpson Co. KY was formed from Logan. Nancy is still living on the same land now located in Simpson Co., KY. This clearly ties Absalom of Chatham Co., NC and the Smiths of Wilson Co., TN. No known Y-DNA testers. Warrick Co., IN Isham Smith I147347 & Wiley Smith I111152 are administrator and security for Sherrard Smith estate Wiley was living in same district in Simpson Co., KY from 1820-1824 as Nancy, Absalom’s wife. This clearly ties Absalom of Chatham Co., NC and the Smiths of Warrick Co., IN. Isham & Wiley both have Y-DNA testers. This may be a case of a Smith marrying another Smith.
