Under the page "Daniel Smith (surveyor)" the following appears: ''Daniel Smith (October 29, 1748 – June 16, 1818) was a surveyor, an American Revolutionary War patriot, and twice a United States Senator from Tennessee. ''Biography[edit] The posting goes on to say: ''Smith was born in Stafford County, Virginia. He was a descendant of Colonel William Tangier Smith (1654–1704), who was born in Northamptonshire, England and settled in the Province of New York.[1]

The [1] above refers to a reference to a Geni posting which is not documented. Daniel Smith is my 5th G-Grand Uncle, Daniel's sister Lydia is my 5th G-Grandmother. I have never seen any documentation that proves that Daniel Smith's father Henry Smith Sr. who married Sarah Crosby was the descendant of Colonel William Tangier Smith

I contacted the person who posted the Geni information and they have yet to supply any documentation that Henry Smith Sr., and his son Daniel Smith, are connected to the family of William Tangier Smith. I would certainly love to have this connection but Daniel Smith's father, Henry Smith Sr., was born (supposedly)in Stafford Co., Va., and died in Stafford Co.,Va. Henry Smith Sr.'s father, Colonel Henry Smith, was born in L.I., New York, and died in L.I. New York. so:

1) Colonel Henry Smith, L.I. New York - L. I. New York 2) Henry Smith Sr, Stafford Co., Va. - Stafford Co., Va. 3) General Daniel Smith, Stafford Co., Va., - Tennessee

It doesn't make sense that Colonel Henry Smith's son was born in Stafford Co., Va. When did Colonel Henry Smith live in Stafford Co., Va., so that his son Henry Smith Sr. would be born there.

I will again attempt to get some documentation but in the meantime, what do we need to do about this posting ?? Cordially, Patrick Morgan Harrison Paradisehamlet (talk) 17:28, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
