I am trying to locate information on who my great-aunt Harriet Susan Smoak married. She was born on October 5, 1882 in Cordova, SC. Her parents were Daniel McMichael Smoak Sr., who was born on Nov. 28, 1848, and Mary Jane Hughes, who was born on Nov. 22, 1849. My great-aunt died in childbirth in 1904/1905 according to my grandmother, Gena Gramling (Sauls) Smoak, who is now deceased. Her child survived since he or she is mentioned in the will of Daniel McMichael Smoak which was prepared in 1924. I have information that she married a George Hughes, however, I also was told that she married a Henry V. Hughes. In Susan Smoak's bible record there is listed a Bartley Hughes who was born on Oct. 10, 1902. I located a Bartley Hughes in the 1920 census of Orangeburg County, SC and he was listed as a son of Henry Hughes and was age 17 at the time of the census which would make him to be the right age. Henry Hughes was listed as 66 years of age in the 1920 census which would seem to indicate that he would be too old to be Susan's husband. His wife in that census was named Mary and her age was listed as 40. I have located the gravestone of a Henry V. Hughes who has two wives named Mary buried next to him. Also at the foot of his grave is a gravestone marked: Infant daughter of Mr. Mrs. Bartley Hughes 1931. This seems to confirm the census records that Bartley Hughes was the son of Henry Hughes. If anyone has any information on who was the husband of Harriet Susan Smoak and the name of her surviving child, I would appreciate your contacting me. I have in my possession an original picture of Susan taken around 1900 which my grandmother gave me many years ago. I am sure that any surviving member of the family would love to have a copy of that picture since it probably was the only one taken of her.
