My gggrand dad James M. Smith 1857-1923, was ether part Cherokee or Choctaw
or Chickasaw Indian, They moved to a town MT Pleasant, MS about 100 miles up
72 highway from Alabama between 1870-1880. He came with his (unknown brother)
and (unknown father). Mt Pleasant Mississippi was its name. James M. Smith,
got about 40 acres, to farm. The unknown brother fell in love with a young
lady, and followed her to St. Frances and the mountains in Arkansas with a
wagon train. The brother went through Memphis, to get to the mountains. The
father died and was buried on kings mountain The family is saying, because he
was friends of the king family. (IM Trying to Connect this), And on 72
highway between Mt Pleasant and collierville TN, a hill that the Kings family
owns is the cemetery. My family says The Father is buried there, IM doubting
it now. An express way is beside it now.
James M Smith married Eveha Livonia Armor in 1881 and had 3 children
James F

Pleasant for a visit, on his way back to Alabama.I do have a picture of James
