Research Notes
- Profile originally had Colonel Samuel Smith 27 May 1709 -14 Sep 1783 as her child. This most likely comes from Emma Morehead Whitfield, "Whitfield, Bryan, Smith and Related Families,” Vol.2, p.214[2] which is incorrect. He was likely a brother of John Smith. Elizabeth's son died in 1795, as shown in the 1794 court case.
Elizabeth was born in 1708, daughter of Matthew Whitfield. She and John Smith had an additional girl with unknown birth and death dates, Mary.
