p. 67- Drury Smith and family. (There is a Drury in the 1800 Sampson Co. Census.)
p. 67- Benj. Smith and family.
p. 67- James Smith & family. (There is a James Smith's Deed, Dec. 17, 1796, shows land- In Lucas's near Burnt Bay, Bladen County, N. C.) A Burnt Bay is about 45 miles from Bogue Swamp, where Arthur Smith had land. In those days, 45 miles had to be a long distance. Trying to identify Arthur Smith's brothers.[7]
p. 70- Lucy Smith and family.
p. 71- Richard Singletary and family. (Three Richard Singletary families in this census.)[8]
p. 71- Mrs. Mary Council and family. (Is this Mary (Robeson) Council- wife of James Council?)
p. 72- John Gibbs and family.
p. 72- Eley Smith and family. Who is Eley? (There is a Ivey Smith in the 1790 Duplin Co., N. C. census.)
p. 72- James Council and family. This appears to be James Council, Jr. He married Mary Robeson. His father Capt. James Council Sr. died about 1789.
p. 74 William Ellis and family. (See James Smith deed July 12, 1794.)
.....
p. 72- Anne Smith (This appears to be Joanna Council 1753-1833, the wife of Samuel Stephen Smith- died July 2, 1784. ) (See Johana Smith in 1800 Bladen Co., Capt. Powells Dist. also.) See Deed of Stephen Smith, on Bogue, Dec. 12, 1778.[9]
two males under 16.
one more female.
Total people in household- 4
Plus 5 slaves.
Eley Smith, James Council, Junior?, and Anne Smith are listed next to each other (1790 census).
This Anne or Joanna (Council) Smith is the daughter of Capt. James Council Sr. and Joanna Willis.
Wonder if Samuel Stephen Smith (1746-1784) is the brother of Arthur Smith?
The children of Samuel Stephen Smith and Joanna (Anne) Council (1753-1833) are: John, Sophia, James, Daniel, Stephen, and Elizabeth, born 1784 (married Jonathan Pierce).
There are a ton of Smiths in this 1790 census. So, there is a good chance that this John Smith is not the brother or father of our Arthur Smith. Need proof.
.....
p. 79- David Mims and family. (This appears to be David Sr. There is a David Junior also.) (Numerous Mims (Mems) families in this census.)[14]
p. 79- Thomas Smith and family. And 20 slaves. (Who is Thomas?)
p. 80- William Smith and family. (There are two William Smith families on p.80.)
p. 80- Simon Smith and family.
p. 81- Elizabeth Lucas and family.
p. 82- Thomas Smith and family.
p. 83- William Smith and family. (There are two William Smith families on p.83.)
p. 83- John Smith age 16 and up.
one more male age 16 and up.
three females.
p. 84 Francis Davis age 16 and up.
one male under 16.
five females.
seven slaves.
Not sure if this is the same Francis Davis that patented 640 acres, June 5, 1740 on south side of Bogue Swamp. This 640 acres went to Able Davis. Then this 640 acres went to John Smith, Sr., proved May 1774. Bladen County.
Because there are so many "John Smiths", it is difficult to straighten them out. If you look at the Will of the John Smith, Sr. (ca. 1752-1823) His Will is in Sumter County, S.C.- recorded March 15, 1823. He lists his wife and six children:
1. John Smith, Jr.
2. Tabitha (Smith) Wright. (born 1775)
3. Levina (Smith) Goff. (born 1780) See Levina in 1850 Kershaw Co., S. C. census.
4. Mary (Smith) Mims
5. Sarah (Smith) ______?
6. Elizabeth Smith. (born 1790)
It is possible, that these two, John Smiths, listed in the 1790 Bladen County Census are father and son. Need verification.
(Numerous Council families in this 1790 Bladen census.)
Anson County was created in 1750 from Bladen County.
p. 196- Arthur Smith age 16 and up.
5 males under 16.
3 females.
1 slave.
The people in this family are similar to our Arthur Smith's (born about 1745) family. But as our Arthur Smith is in the deeds and the 1784 Bladen County Tax List, this 1790 Anson County Arthur Smith is likely not ours.
p. 195- Lucy Stuckey (4 people in household).
p. 195- Wright Pearce and family. (There are four Pearce families in this census.)
There are thirteen Smith families in this census, including John Smith Sr. and Jr.
__________
1790 Cumberland County, North Carolina Census:[19]
There are about 40 Smith families in this 1790 Cumberland Co. Census.
There are numerous John Smiths in this census.
See the deed July 22, 1777, Bladen County- John Smith to his son Samuel Smith.[20]
This deed is 1280 acres on North East side of the North West branch of Cape Fear River.
It seems to indicate this 1777 deed is in Cumberland County deeds.?
John Blocker is a witness on this 1777 deed.
John Blocker is in the 1790 Cumberland County census.
John Blocker was a Captain in the Revolution with Bladen County Regiment.
There is a John Smith from Bladen County, and, or Cumberland County that is on the Revolutionary Pay Vouchers, No. 68 (April 9, 1781Cumberland County) image 587 of 924.
And on image 586 of 924, (No. 12) is John Smith and R. Singletary.[21]
There is a Arthur Smith in Muster Rolls (1812) Bladen County, N.C. This is likely not our Arthur Smith, as he is in 1810 Sumter County, S.C. census.
p. 136- Samuel Smith[23] (lists no people?) Lists 13 slaves. The 1800 census list a Samuel as age 45 and up. Revolutionary soldier. Samuel's deed 1782 Bladen Co., lists Ashpole Swamp in Robeson Co., now, I guess.
p. 147- John Smith Sr.[24] age 16 and up. Is this John Smith the father of Arthur Smith?
three more males age 16 and up.
three females
two slaves
There are two John Smiths in the 1790 Robeson Co., census.
There are two John Smiths in the 1790 Bladen Co., census.
There are numerous land grants that mention John Smith's property line near Hog Swamp. As luck would have it, there is a Hog Swamp in Robeson County and in Bladen County.

four males under 16.
three females.
p. 218- Mattew (Matthew) Smith age 16 and up. (1790 Clarendon County)[28]
This appears to be the Matthew Smith listed in the Rev. War Service Grant, dated August 28, 1788, Camden District, South Carolina. This deed mentions Douglas Swamp. If you go on Google Earth or maps of Lee County- you will see Tanglewood Plantation on Hwy 341. A mile or two south of Tanglewood Plantation is Douglas Swamp Road. So, Douglas Swamp must be here somewhere.
one more male age 16 and up.
two males under 16.
three females.
I have not identified Matthew yet.

__________
Nov. 4, 1793, John Pearce's land grant, Bladen County, N. C.:[29]
Location- "In Cain's Neck". (Cain's Neck is south of Tar Heel, near Goodman Swamp.)
Supposedly John Pearce received this land grant for service in the Revolution.
John Pearce married Ann Cain, daughter of James Cain of Cain's Neck..[30]
John Pearce married Ann Cain about 1794.
John was born Aug. 4, 1760 in Rhode Island to William and Anna Pierce (Pearce).
John Pearce died 1827 in Camden County, Georgia.
Does our Ann (Pierce) Smith connect to this family?
Stephen Smith age 26 to 44. (Appears to be the son of Arthur Smith and Ann Pierce.) There is a Stephen Smith in the 1820 Sumter Co., census. So., there seems to be several Stephen Smiths.
one male under 10.
one female under 10.
one female 10 to 15.

one male 10 to 15.
one female under 10.

We already have a female (age 45 and up) listed with Arthur Smith in the 1800 Bladen County Census- Capt. Powell's Dist. So, this Anne Smith, appears to be unidentified.

I appreciate any help I can get on Ann Smith.
But, as there are dozens of Ann Smiths, (the same time period) that died at this same time period in England, do you have any proof that this is our Ann Smith that died Mar. 15, 1823 at Westminster, England. Any family history? Any documents? Any notes? I know this date is on many online family trees, but that does not make it true. Need proof. thanks
