NOTE: This deed from George Hamblin & others to (my gr-grandfather), Marion Jones
& others does not mention the deceased, Robert Smith in the deed index. I happened on
this deed because I was also checking for Marion Jones. Marion Jones and "Biddy"
(Smith) Jones, were the parents of my grandmother, Effie E. (Jones) Bennett. Her
mother, "Biddy" died a year or two before her father, Robert Smith. Therefore all of the
Smith and Jones family are listed. This was quite a find for me!
