• Notes

  According to Odessa Collins, Gracey married a James Wiley and Elizabeth married James C. Smyley instead. In a transcription of their father's will, however, Gracey is married to James Smyley. The names of the Gracey and James's children ms well with Gracey's family. It is this Gracey and not the Elizabeth who is the d. of Little John, who is married to James Smyley in the area.(E) I have assumed that Gracey died before 1838 when her husband wrote his will that did not include his wife.
