Where are these Smiths from? Amazing, but Tazewell Cowan Smith looks just like my brother if he were to grow a full beard, amazing, truly is. My scanner isn't working or I would forward some photo's of him. Nancy Jane Smith married James Harvey Vermillion, who was a Texas Ranger as were his brothers and uncle, one of which Joseph D. Vermillion, was in on the capture of Santa Anna after the battle of San Jacinto, (Goliad- sic?), he was also in the civil war. I've been told that Nancy Jane was a descendent of a Joel Jones and a Smith from Southern part of North Carolina. Then too I've been told that she was Indian, and we do have Indian teeth, but I can't find out very much about her at all.

I am related to the Vermillion and Winkler familes. I have found quite a bit about the Vermillions and have found a little bit about the Winklers, not there are brick walls in searching for each and all of these relatives history. I lived in Wilmington California when my father worked in the shipyards when I was very little, we then moved to Hermosa Beach, California where I grew up. I have tried to find old friends from Wilmington, like Phylis McFadden, Lynn Austin and Arlene Wearing(Homes-married name, who were my junior high friends, and not knowing their married names or where they're now living, they are lost to me as well. Any news of them would also be appreciated.
