Notes:

Birth:
**** Note ****
William was NOT born in Wise County, Virginia unless he was referring to the place after it was created in 1856 from Lee, Russell, and Scott Counties. William stated in his pension application that he came to Kentucky in 1850. So, he either came to Kentucky later than he stated or perhaps he kept in contact with family who ended up in Wise County after its formation. Wise County did not exist at the time of his birth in 1842. If the 1860 Census record (see below) is indeed an enumeration of William Harrison Smith then, it is probable that William Harrison Smith was born in Russell County, Virginia where his probable brother's marriage took place (see the marriage record of B.F. Smith - probably Benjamin Franklin Smith who I believe to be the older brother of William Harrison Smith).

Notes:

Died:
A search request in June of 2012 for a death certificate presented to Mayes County, Oklahoma resulted in a failure to locate that record. The only evidence currently of Mary's date and place of death is from a cemetery marker in the Alberty Cemetery. This is further supported by Mary's presence in the area as indicated by the 1910 Census when she was living with one of her daughters.

Notes:

Married:
Purportedly, Richard Combs appears on the "Perry County, Kentucky Groom's Index." Multiple citations on the Internet, no images of the document found online, all cite January, 1839 with variations on the actual day in January.
