I don't have much information, but I have been trying to trace this family, and I believe the James Smoke in Bamberg, SC was James M. Smoke of Midway, Barnwell, SC back in the day before Bamberg County was formed, and that James was born around 1815 through 1820 and that he is Moses Smoak's son. It is believed that Moses may be the son of George Michael Smoak (Rauch) who is Johann Georg Rauch's son. Other than that, I am only tracing down through the census and have no family history. I hope this helps. I realize it has been a long time since you posted, and I hope you see it. Moses Smoak died intestate in 1851. Checking Findagrave for Moses Smoak will help you get a start on his family.
