  Henry Silas Smith Tombstone

  
  

• Notes

  Henry Silas and Mariah are buried on the old Smith place, about a mile or so from my Smith Farm in Franklin Co., VA. The old Smith house, originally built in the late 1700s by a Mr. Street and which has been added to, still stands. The original part is between the two wings. Henry Silas Smith's first wife was Nannie J. Powell, who died in 1872; she was born 1855 in Pittsylvania County. Henry Silas's parents were Samuel Wood Smith (5 Aug. 1813 to Dec. 1877) and Letitia Holland (Malinda Letitia Holland, 1818? to 14 Feb 1886). Samuel's parents were John W. Smith and Lucy English (daughter of George Lewis English and Ann Smith). Ann (Nancy) Smith was the daughter of John Smith, the son of Samuel Smith and Griselle (Grissel) Locker. They were married in Prince George County, MD 26 Sept. 1732. Griselle was daughter of Thomas Locker and Eleanor (Ellinor) Evans. [Update: Apparently in the vicinity, there were two Samuel Smiths, each married to a Grissele/Grissell/Grissel. It's possible that my line is the Samuel Smith/Grizzel Coleman line.]
