Francis Smith, owned land in Shelby County, KY, late 1790s
I am seeking information about Francis Smith, who owned land in Shelby County, KY, in the late 1790s.In a Shelby Co. deed to my ancestor, William Walls in 1798, Francis is spoken of as being of "Franklin County, Kentucky".Can anyone give me further information about this man?
I believe him to be somehow connected to Mildred Smith, wife of Rev. William Edmund Waller.I also wonder if this Francis Smith is the same as Col. Francis Smith who married Elizabeth Ann Preston?He is said to be a brother of Susanna Smith who married William Preston.
I would appreciate any information regarding Francis Smith, his children, his ancestry, his connection to the Waller family, his possible connection to the Forks of Elkhorn Church in Woodford County, KY!!Thank you.
