HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THESE FAMILIES? If so, please write and help me
complete this family.
If you have any additions or corrections, please send me an E-mail.
Am very grateful to Debi Clark for sending the William Eson Smith
information. Without her help, would never have been able to put this story on my website. Thanks a million, Debi.

Will be adding more photos and information from time to time to each story, so please come back later to read any additional information and new photos.
Am typing this story on my Notepad the "old fashioned way",without benefit of an HTML program, so please excuse any typing errors you may find (my Notepad has no spelling check).

Had been hunting for years for the "lost" son of Thomas and Febary Tackett Smith.
Many thanks to DEBI CLARK who contacted me via E-mail, sending information and pictures on William Eson"Esau" Smith and his family.
She is the person who furnished most of the information on William Eson Smith.Thank you Debi.(deb_wa_clark@comcast.net)
Am so proud to have this Smith information and photographs

Also want to thank everyone who helped me with this large family.

After discovering which areas the William Eson Smith family settled in, found that area on the Internet and added what information I could find from the census and marriage records of Christian County, Missouri. Will be adding more information from time to time.

Began searching for THOMAS and FEBARY TACKETT SMITH after I sent for their son Henry Woody Smith's Confederate Civil War Record
(Henry Smith was my husband's maternal great-grandfather.
Found that JOHN and REBECCA SMITH (grandparents of Henry),lived at one time in Jackson County, Alabama. So many kinfolks hailed from Jackson County, Alabama who ended up in Newton County, Arkansas area. They used the same family names in all their childrens names.

The 1830 Jackson County, Alabama census at LDS Family History Center, Film No. 2,328 listed three John Smiths. Did not check any other Alabama counties. Madison County, Alabama is another possibility I need to check out.
This family IS NOT related to Jeremiah and Margaret Armstrong-Byrd
Smith family that I am aware of.

ARKANSAS PENSIONERS BOOK
SMITH, John...Old war pension application. O.W.Wid.Cert.#1717, file @11475. Served as Captain in Alabama Volunteers, Florida Seminole Indian War, Widow, Rebecca.(not abstracted in book)
DO NOT KNOW if this is our John and Rebecca Smith.

Alabama Pension Rolls of 1835 had one JOHN SMITH, from Anson County,
North Carolina, 1778, 5yr, Pvt, Capt Parsons; Col Chiles;
General Wayne.
Born 15Mar1763 Anson County, North Carolina
Enlisted April 1778 for 5 years.
To Hillsboro to receive discharge.
Lived in Anson, North Carolina to 1783.
Around 1803 to Georgia
Georgia to Tennessee about 1811
Tennessee til about 1832 1832 to Alabama (Jackson and Madison Counties) Aplied pension 1833 in Madison County,Alabama at Brownsboro
DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS THE CORRECT JOHN SMITH, but is as close as I can come at the present time.

Also while researching in the LDS Family History Center, ran across
the Fische No. 6,019,335, The 1911 Arkansas Confederate Soldiers Census record. Not every Arkansas county is represented. But I was in luck as Henry Smith had filled out the questionairre and "lo and behold", there was the clue I needed on his parents.
The original copy of this record is at the Arkansas History Commission in Little Rock, Arkansas. Would like to read it so I could check the spelling of the Tacketts names listed on film.
Believe instead of LANGSTON TACKETT (as noted), it should read LEWIS TACKETT.
Perhaps the person transcribing the film thought the name was Langston when it really was Lewis Tackett??
MARY POLLY BASHAM was the wife of Lewis (Langston)Tackett.
The Tackett Association did not agree that there was a Feraby (Phoebe) Tackett from the Lewis Tackett Family. But they did acknowledge Martin Tackett in the Association. And Martin Tackett was Febary (Pheobe)Tackett Smith's brother. She even named two of her sons Pleasant Smith (after Pleasant Tackett) and Martin Tackett Smith (after her brother Martin Tackett).
What I need to do is send the original film copy of Henry W Smith's Confederate Service Record to the Tackett Association, which I have not as yet done.

Since getting a copy of this record, recently purchased the set of books, "Arkansas 1911 Census of Confederate Veterans" and the book showed an exact copy of Henry Smith's 1911 CSA entry as it appeared on the LDS Fische 6,019,335.

1830 Alabama Index showed a THOMAS SMITH in Jackson County, Alabama, page 324 of the Alabama Index found in the Midcontinent Library, Independence, Missouri.

If the information is correct in son William Eson Smith's obituary,,br> he was born in 1820\21 in Jackson County, Alabama and moved to
Washington County, Arkansas when he was 8 years old (1829);
the Thomas Smith family should be in the 1830 Arkansas Census Index.
I found a John Smith listed in Washington County, Arkansas and a
Thomas Smith in Phillips County, Arkansas in 1830 Arkansas Census
Index. What were the county boundaries in 1830??

My research then centered on the 1840 Carroll County, Arkansas
census showing the family of Thomas Smith.
...Males..............Females
2-1-1-2-0-1...........0-1-000-1 (total of 7 children)
two sons under 5 (Henry 1836 and Martin Smith 1838)
one son between 5 and 10(Pleasant J Smith)
one son over 10 (Claiborne M Smith)
two sons over 10 (Wiliam Eson"Esau" and James Calvin"Calvin")
one daughter over 5 (Melissa Smith)
This fit the known children profile.

What I want to do is provide all the information I have up to now on
Thomas and Febary Tackett Smith's children
Know that there is much missing information and there are
corrections to be made. This is the information as I know it at the
time of this writing.
Each child will be listed in separate stories with the exception
of (3)PLEASANT J SMITH and (8) ELIZABETH SMITH.
Have no further information on these two children other than is
listed on main page.
If you have any additional information, please write me.

(1)WILLIAM ESON "Esau" SMITH,born 28Dec1821 in Jackson County,
Alabama married:
(1)DIANA "Dymie" HUDSON ca 1840, probably Carroll County, Arkansas
(they had 12 children). Dyemie Hudson was related to the HUDSON
families who lived in and around Carroll County and Newton County,
Arkansas. Her parents were John D Hudson and Jane Breeding.

Rev. John Hudson of Round Rock, Texas wrote the "History of the
Hudson Family" and much of my Hudson information comes from this
book.

A dear friend and cousin, FRAN FLOOD EMMERICH (now deceased) sent the
Hudson information to me long ago.
I miss her so.....we did so much research together.Just the thought
of Fran brings back so many fond memories.
We used to "talk" late at night on computer IM. We also researched
the CAMPBELLS together. I visited with her and her hubby in
Kansas City, Missouri and we had such good times together.
Fran, I miss you so much. Such a good, kind, broad-minded, loving
person and we became as close as sisters.

The HUDSON Family is of English descent. Three brothers came from
England along with the early Colonists and settled in what is now
Virginia, in the United States.

EDWARD HUDSON, the grandfather, was born in South Carolina.
He served 7 years under General Francis Marion (The Swamp Fox)in the
Revolutionary War. See my "Francis Marion Story" in my 'Kinfolks
Stories' on my website.
After the close of the war, EDWARD HUDSON married MARYANN WHEAT in
that state. She was of Irish descent. He afterwards moved to Smith
County, Tennessee and from thence to Lawrence County, Arkansas (now
Randolph County, Arkansas).
EDWARD HUDSON was born 25Dec1756 in what is now Kershaw County,South
Carolina. He died 4Apr1845 in Randolph County, Arkansas with burial
in Upshaw Cemetery, Ravenden Springs.
MARY ANN WHEAT HUDSON, born ca1770, died 9Nov1848 in Randolph County,
Arkansas with burial in Upshaw Cemetery at Ravenden Springs.

There were six sons and three daughters:
1. WILLIAM HUDSON (1789-1814),never married and died in Creek Indian
War.
2.JOHN HUDSON (1790-died before 1850) married PHOEBE LEWIS in
Tennessee. They had 3 sons: SAM, *ANDREW and CARROLL Hudson.
Son *ANDREW JACKSON HUDSON,(1818-ca1891), married SARAH L. HOLT
(1823-)in Randolph County, Arkansas. Sarah was the daughter of
JAMES SIMPSON HOLT and ELIZABETH FORTNER. The Andrew Jackson Holt
family moved to Newton County, Arkansas. Andrew and Sarah Holt Hudson
are buried in Hudson Cemetery in Newton County. Some of their
descendants still live in Newton County and many Hudsons from this
couple are spread world-wide.

John and Phoebe Hudson separated and John married JANE BREEDING.
John and Jane had 5 sons and 2 daughters: Sherida, Seburn, Gibson,
John, Darrell, DYMIE and Emily Hudson.
John Hudson belonged to the Tennessee Rifles and was in the Battle of
New Orleans under General Andrew Jackson.
Seburn Hudson married MARY BRISTOW and moved to Oregon.
DYMIE Hudson married ESE SMITH(WILLIAM ESON SMITH).
Emily Hudson married JOHN BRISTOW
All but Seburn were in Northwest Arkansas in Carroll County
(now Boone County).

3. ELEANOR "Nellie" HUDSON born ca1794 in Green County, Tennessee.
She married(1) JAMES BELLAH and (2) HENRY WHITE.

4. JOSEPH HUDSON moved to Howard County, Missouri. He lived there
16 to 18 years and then moved to Oregon County, Missouri.
He married (1)SARAH MOULDER and (2) SARAH ANDREWS.
He died after 1870 in Oregon County, Missouri.

5. HENRY G HUDSON married ELIZABETH BELLAH, a first cousin.
He got into a fighting scrape while in Randolph County, Arkansas.
He cut a man badly with a knife and ran off to Texas around 1835.
He was in the Texas Revolution in 1835 and 1836. He was with Colonel
FANNIN at Goliad. He escaped the massacre. He went back to Arkansas
and again moved back to Texas and died in Brazos County, Texas on
24 Mar 1877. Henry G Hudson is buried in Bethel Cemetery, Harvey, Texas.

6.JAMES HARRIS HUDSON was born 6 April 1804 Smith County, Tennessee.
Settled in Lawrence County, Arkansas (now Randolph County, Arkansas).
He married SARAH BELLAH. They had 6 sons and 1 daughter:
Wiley, Harris Wheat, John, Allen, Edward and Joseph Hudson.
Daughter was Bathsheba Hudson.
James Harris Hudson died 22Feb1884 at Walnut Grove, Missouri with
burial in Hudson Cemetery there.

7. NANCY HUDSON, born 1806 Smith County, Tennessee.
She married JOHN JACOB WALLACE on 11 July 1821.

8. EDWARD HUDSON Jr., born 1808 in Smith County, Tennessee.
He married (1) SARAH NEAL and (2) SARAH ANN FRANCES WATSON of
Howard County, Missouri. He died in 1873 in Travis County, Texas
and is buried in White Rock Cemetery.

She married (1) JOHN RICE and (2) TILFORD BOZORTH.

10. MARY ANN "Polly" HUDSON, born ca 1810. She married NATHAN BELLAH. They died in Randolph County, Arkansas.

Now the children of Thomas and Febary Tackett Smith:
(1)WILLIAM EASON "Esau"SMITH, born 28 Dec 1821 (cemetery shows
28Dec1820)in Jackson County,Alabama, (son of Thomas Smith and Febary
Tackett).
He married (1) DIANA "DYMIE" HUDSON, ca 1840 in probably Carroll
County (now Boone),Arkansas.
Dymie Hudson was born 16 Aug 1820 in Fulton County,Arkansas (daughter
of John D. Hudson and Jane Breeding).
Dymie died 16 Dec 1915 in Sparta, Christian County, Missouri and was
buried: 17 Dec 1915 in Ozark City Cemetery, Ozark , Christian County
Missouri.
William Eson Smith married (2) MS.JOHNSON.??
NOTE: This is a mystery to me. If William Esau died in 1899 and Dymie
died in 1915, when did he marry Ms.JOHNSON? Had William Esau and
Dyemie divorced and then he married Ms JOHNSON?? William died 29 Nov 1899 in Ozark, Christian County,Missouri and is
buried in City Cemetery, Ozark , Christian County, Missouri.
