Biography

Samuel Smiley lived in Appalachia, in North Carolina.

Samuel was born in 1873.[1] He was the son of John Sadoc Smiley and Matilda Gibson. He passed away in 1970. [2]

In 1895, he married Eliza Coxey.[3]

Research Notes

According to George Leroy Tabor, Sr., Samuel and Eliza had a daughter, Flossie Pauline, who was born on 1 October 1914 and died the same day. [4] Since there is a ten year gap between the previous sibling, Merlie, b. 1909, and the next one, Ruth, born in 1919, it does seem likely that there was another child born around the time claimed for Flossie Pauline.
