Truman Smith was My G-G-Grandfather. He was born in Massachusetts in 1809. His first marriage was to Eleanor Gamble. They had 9 children, the youngest being Margaret Olive Smith born in 1850. She is My G-Grandmother. Eleanor died in about 1856. I think Truman married Debora in 1858. They Had 4 Children. John, Charles, William and Arvilla. I had most of this information from notes My Grandmother left Me. I've then made a long study of the family Geneology. I've tracked Truman from Mass>Penn>Virginia( West Virginia>Arkansas where I believe He died sometime in the 1870's in Arkansas or Desha County. I've done this through Census records and other information found on ancestry. I don't know alot about Debora except that She shows up in the 1860 census in Wood County, Virginia with Truman, in the 1870 census in Desha County, Arkansas with Truman and the in the 1880 census in Desha County, Arkansas but without Truman and She still has all the children. In ckecking the census, You'll find His name spelled Trueman, Truman and Treeman Smith. You have to be a bit of a detective. I've also been able to track Arvilla's Children. She Married a James Taylor Walsh, Had 2 children, Celina and John. Arvilla died in 1893 in Arkansas. I'll be glad to help in any way I can. My E-mail is
