No. 4 Gilbert Smith
GILBERT TAYLOR SMITH, born 13 Dec 1886, son of STEPHEN SMITH
and POLLY O'NEAL
(See the "JOHN M. SMITH STORY" in my 'Kinfolks Stories' on my website
for Gilbert's brothers and sisters).
This Gilbert Taylor Smith married SARAH ROSETTA NUCHOLS,on
4 March 1917 in Johnson County Arkansas.(V-389).
The marriage record shows G.T. Smith , age 23, but if he were born in 1886, he would be age 31.
Had This Gilbert Taylor Smith been married before??

The 1920 Johnson County, Arkansas Census, Pittsburg Township, shows
him as age 34 and Sarah as age 19.
Living near Gilbert Taylor Smith on 1920 Johnson County, Arkansas
Census in Spadra Township were his brothers Bradley, Richard and
Newt Smith (sons of Stephen Smith)
One source states that this Gilbert Smith was named for his great
uncle Gilbert T. Smith, who would be the Gilbert Smith born 1831
and son of Jeremiah and Margaret Armstrong Byrd Smith.

A friend living in Ft. Smith, Arkansas, Leonard Patton, wrote me
several letters and speaks of visiting Gilbert and Mary Smith and
I believe it was in Johnson County, Arkansas he visited them.
