This page data is temporarily copied from Marjorie Smith's website http://home.sprintmail.com/~robtmarj/smith.html and is one of the best genealogical websites I have seen. To many people put up empty sites with no reference data that are often times speculative or based upon someone else's speculation. Marjorie has a complete line of descent that is well documented and even includes pictures. It is also my line of descent as far as James3, Daniel2, Ralph1. FS
