George K. Smith (the last ancestor that I have authentic
proof of in 1953 - BTA) owned around 1100 acres of land in
Pittsylvania County, Virginia on Tomahawk Creek (near
Museville). According to family tradition, he was born
near Museville, Virginia and buried near Tomahawk, Va.
where he lived. Family tradition says he was a miller.
Value of property, $15,302; George K. Smith married Susan
Adkins and had the following issue:
1. Booker (Bowker) Smith was never married. He built the
R.J. Reynolds tobacco factory and manufactured tobacco. He
had a train of wagons and sold it through the Carolinas and
Georgia. He died in early manhood so showed a genius for
business ability quite young. (This line of Smith's are
related to R.J.Reynolds' wife according to Dr. George Smith
Anderson, nephew of Booker Smith). According to his
tombstone at the old Smith home near Tomahawk he died
Sepember 23, 1841.

1902; married 7th December 1843, Ardennia Wright (b. Jan.

2,1896. He married February 18, 1856 Rebecca Hodnett (b.

land on Tomahawk Creek and had many slaves who stayed on
with him even after the war as long as he lived, thus
making it most profitable for him. He was a very
successful farmer. During the Civil War he lost a leg but
this did not seem to handicap him in anyway. He once rode
horseback alone to Kentucky with nine thousand dollars in
his pocket and purchased 1000 acres of land from a Mr.
Grubb for himself, Mr. Joe Reynolds and Ward Reynolds which
extended from Greenpond back to Bearskin Creek, etc.
