Smith, Margaret

Birth Name Smith, Margaret
Nick Name Peggy
Also Known As Smith, Margaret
Gender female
Age at Death less than 50 years

Narrative

Son Elisha Almer says in the 1880 census that father from NC, mother from TN.
Daughters Elizabeth and Martha in same say both from TN.

Shared DNA between descendants of Margaret and descendants of John C Smith and Jincy Taylor of Carter Co, TN indicate a probable relatedness. John C Smith b.1811 s/o James and Elizabeth Smith. This is the "Smith's of Carter Co, TN" line.

Numerous DNA matches between descendants of these Smith's and Siler(Salers) in (Baden-Würtemburg) Germany. ( Absalom Hooper & Sarah Saler )

Son's full name - Daniel Harrison Huffines - could mean Margaret is the daughter or granddaughter of a Harrison. Numerous DNA matches and coincidences lead to the family of Daniel Smith & Elizabeth Harrison of Rockingham Co, VA. Daniel Smith came from Ulster, Ireland like our Y-DNA Smith matches, but male Smith descendants do not match the Smith line out of Carter Co, TN. Could still be Margaret's maternal line.

  Narrative

William moved from Yadkin, Stokes Co, NC to Washington Co, TN about 1816, and married Peggy Smith 1821 in Carter County, TN. They probably moved with brother Daniel to Jackson County, TN ~1825 (from a land grant to Daniel Jan. 11, 1825
http://dadblastit.tripod.com/huffinesfamilyhistory/id112.html ) Phillip and Jacob were (variously) on Tax Lists of Washington Co, TN from 1814-1819. Jacob was there till after 1830. A clue to where they lived is that Huffine Cemetery is near the Tri-Cities Airport along the Watauga River - or right next to the border with Carter Co, TN.

1830 Jackson County, TN Census:
William Hufhines: 1m<5 1m5-10 1m20-30(wrong age) 1f<5 1f5-10 1f30-40 1f40-50 (mother?)
and note, definitely 2 sons _before_ 1830 so excludes William G b.1831

1840 Jackson County, TN Census:
William Huffines: 2m15-20 2m20-25 m40-50 f<5 2f5-10 f20-30
, but note, sons older than 20 would precede marriage with Peggy Smith - perhaps just a farm laborer

Lori Adcox believes the 3 year old Louisa Huffines girl living with Aunt Margaret Forkum is also theirs ( by elimination of alternatives). This is Louisa Elizabeth Huffines who married Haywood Richardson. However, where was Peggy in the 1840 Census?
