Lebanon Church is in Lamar Co,Al.,just west of the town of Vernon.That
area was settled early.My husbands folks lived near there also.They were
HOLLIS,BAKER, SALVAGE,TURNER,MARLER.The
Pennington Family was there early too.
The local library has a lot of PENNINGTON data. I do not know of a
connection to your SMITH living around
the LEBANON Church area.Billy Carr owns the land on the north east side
of the church.Steve Benefield owns the land
on the north west side of the church.Judge Curtis McLellan own the land
across the hwy on the south in front of the church.Wofford cemetery is
just a little ways north of the church.The Turner cemetery is south west
of the church. There are may unmarked graves in both
cemeteries.Springfield church and cemetery is about 3 miles south of
Lebanon.Furnace Hill Cemetery is about 4 miles south.All of these
cemeteries date back a good ways.
Charles Pennington lives north of the church.And descended from the old
Pennington line in that area.
We have not been able to trace your
Smith.But Smiths lived all the way from Vernon west to Grugg Springs
community in Monroe Co,Ms. No connection between all of these that we
know of.
LEMUEL SMITH is buried at Friendship South Cemetery which is south west
of the Turner site.BENJAMIN SMITH is buried at New Hope Cemetery on to
the west of Lebanon near the state line.
Across the line into Monroe County,Ms
there is a PLeasant Grove Cem. Tellie Smith Estes and famly are buried
there.On Wolfe Road is a Sullivan Cem.with Smith graves.Cockerham Cem.
in Grubb Spgs. Community has many Smith graves.There are Smith graves in
the Vernon cem.also.I have not seen a Steven Smith so far.I have read
about a Steven Smith and Benjamin Smith that surveyed back in the early
days.The Tuscaloosa library should have something on them.As the Alabama
newsletters I saw the articles in were from
Tusca.A Mr.Woods publisher.He did a Woods newsletter also. jean
