Our Smith great-great-great grandparents

These images are also from the Smith book. They are Mary's maternal grandparents: Frances "Fanny" Martin Smith (1799-1862) and Samuel H. Smith (1795-1853). Fanny is at a disadvantage here next to such a young image of her husband!

This couple lived in Wake County, North Carolina, for a while, later moving to Hardeman County, Tennessee, and finally to Dallas County, Arkansas. They had five children of their own, and later they reportedly helped raise the five children of Sam's sister Mary "Polly" Crisp after she died.
