Darline Frances Chadwick Smith

George Smith, or Schmidt, was the only child of German parents who immigrated to Virginia in 1735. He married Rebecca Bowen ca. 1768 in Augusta, Botetoourt County, Virginia. The couple moved later to Tennessee and Kentucky, settling in the Cumberland Valley, where George died in 1804. Descendants of George and Rebecca have lived in Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, Missouri, and elsewhere.
