SMITH, William B. on 1880 census for Cole Hill, Chesterfield, SC
I would like any info on this family. William was 57 on 1880 census so would make him
born about 1823. His wife, Elizabeth A. was 52 on 1880 census so would have been born
about 1828. The youngest child on this census, Doctor SMITH, age 6, was Doctor Flo
SMITH who moved to Laurel Hill, Fl and then to Milligan, Fl. One of the boys in the 1880
census moved to Pascagoula, Miss. Sydney SMITH lived in the Chesterfield area and
visited up until the 1950's. Would especially like to know if there is a marriage record for
William B. and Elizabeth A. to find her maiden name. And would love to know William B.'s
or Elizabeth A.'s parents names. Old family hearsay story says that the family name was
originally KNIGHT. Said that the parents died and a family named SMITH took-in the
children. But we don't know when that happened or if true.
Thanks,
Ron Bryan

Also:
Does the local genealogy society have books for sale such as local cemetery records or
marriage records? Are there web-sites with this data listed for Chesterfield County?
