    I believe the "D F" on this record to be incorrect. While it clearly says "D" on the document, I believe that it should have been a "B" and was simply written incorrectly. The 1860 Census enumeration should make this clear.

      (DJS) I believe the "D F" Smith is actually "B F" Smith. The record clearly shows a "D", not a "B" but, I think the 1870 Census clarifies who this record was for. Use your own judgement, please let me know if you find otherwise.
