James/Jim Smoke b. 1869-73 Dallas, Co. Alabama

Hello,
Looking for any information on the family and line of James/Jim Smoke who was born between 1969-1873 in either Dallas or Elmore Counties, Alabama. I am helping a friend track down his ancestors/family tree. He said that his people came from Dallas Co to Elmore Co, Alabama. James/Jim's wife was Maggie Horton and his kids were Violet, Lue, Arthur/Authar, and James Smoke, Jr.

Mr. Smoke, who is black, says that Jim was white and his wie Black, thus the tie in with White/Black. He also says that he has always heard there is Creek Indian blood somewhee too, supposedly from his great grandmother Magnolia Benson Smoke (wife of Arthur Smoke, sone of Jim).
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
