SMITH, James Ezekial
I'm writing to ask if you'll keep an eye out for the grave of my great grandfather, Rev. James Ezekial Smith. Born 12 Aug 1874 in Brunswick Co, NC, he married Mary Annie Moore, the daughter of Robert James Moore, a sea captain from Snead's Ferry, NC. Rev. Smith was a circuit-riding preacher who established a little church in Pigeon Forge (possibly Advent Christian). He died of diabetes in Dec 1915 at age 41 while on one of his visits and is buried there. I understand that a monument or marker was erected in his memory - but I have no idea by whom (I assume by the church members.) He left his wife and 5 children (including my grandfather) penniless in Wilmington, NC. Unable to take care of the children, Annie put the children in Barium Springs Orphanage. She died 6 years later at age 46 and is buried here in Wilmington. As each child reached age 16, each returned to Wilmington. Because both parents died so young, many questions were left unanswered. I've located the graves of most all the family here in eastern North Carolina, but Rev Smith is unreachable. I do so hope that someone in Pigeon Forge will come across his marker and recall that his great granddaughter is looking for him.

STOCKTON Family
Samuel Stockton (1774-died before 1830) and wife Patience Kirkpatrick (died after 1840) were in Sevier County TN at least before 1830 and until aftr 1840. They had nine children shown on the 1830 federal census, but only one is known. Samuel Stockton Jr. and wife took over the family homestead by the 1840 census. My brick wall is identifying his other eight siblings.

TAYLOE, George
My great-grandfather was supposedly born in Sevier County and I was wandering if anyone knew if this was true. His name was George Tayloe and was born on April 21, 1841. He moved to Blount County, Tennessee at some time and died here and I know where he was buried.

WEBB, George W.
I am looking for information regarding ancestry of George W. WEBB , born 9/15/1833 TN and died 6/1/1871. He is buried in Dockery Cemetery in Jones Cove, Sevier County. He married Martha Jane Connatser 11/26/1951 and they had 6 children. I don't know how he died. Martha remarried and was the third wife of Bryant Breeden and they had more children. Martha is also buried in Dockery Cemetery under the name Martha Breeden. George and Martha's son Wilson Webb is buried there also. Their other children were: James Webb, Mary J. Webb, Andrew Harrison Webb (my gggrandfather) who married Mary Patty, Cynthia Webb who married William R. Patty, and Elizabeth. There are several Webbs in Sevier County and I cannot seem to connect my George to a previous generation. Also does anyone know where Cynthia Webb Patty was buried. I was told her husband shot her while cleaning his gun and she died in 1904, but I cannot find her grave or an obit. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Please contact Teresa Webb-Martin with any information. 5/01/2005
