Biography

Missouri Alabama Hanks was born c.1847 in Mississippi to George Washington Hanks and Ann Selina Williams. She lived with them and a number of siblings in Panola in 1850.[1] In 1860 they lived in Yalobusha, Mississippi.[2]

Missouri married Stanford Stephen Smith, a farmer who would later become a minister, in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi on June 7, 1866,[3] and by 1770 they had two sons.[4] These are their known children:

  1. Hugh Gene Smith (1867-1932)[4]
  2. Derosa Smith (c.1869)[4]
  3. Annie Selina Smith (1870)[5]
  4. George Stanford Smith (1873)[5]
  5. Fontenoy N. Smith (1876)[5]
  6. Henry Malcolm Smith (1877)[5]
  7. Missouri Alabama (Smith) Kirk (1884)[5]

Some time after her husband's death in Mississippi in 1909, Missouri moved to Arkansas, possibly to live with her eldest son.

Missouri Hanks Smith died in Phillips, Arkansas in 1916 and is buried in Trenton Cemetery in Trenton, Arkansas, Phillips. County.[6]
