Just wondering if anyone knew when and where Delila Ashley and Sion
Smith died, as saw the following Wills yesterday in a book at the
library of Alabama Wills:
Sumter County, Alabama Will Book 1 (1828-1855)
Delila Smith page 217
Solomon Smith page 254
Elijah Criswell page 370
**Sion Smith is not in very many census indexes in GA, AL or SC, but
there are a few Simon and Solomon Smith's and didn't know if Sion was a
nickname or variation of Simon or ?
Might be worth further exploration/research to check out to see if it
leads anywhere. Thought the Sumter Co, AL area was interesting as
Daniel Ashley family lived there.
There was also a Will noted for a Robert Croswell (maybe error in
spelling, hard to know) who left a Will in Greene County, Alabama
Will Book "C" page 229 (1840-1864)
This book was just an index of Alabama Wills which appeared to cover
the time period from 1828 to 1864 with maybe not all counties covered.
I didn't have much time at the library as I stopped by there on the way
home from work about 20 minutes before they closed. But these names
looked interesting.
