"...of the Militia who in 1708 was of Abington Parish, Gloucester co., Va. In 1725 and 1726 he was in King William Co., Va. and died in June 1734 in Spotsylvania Co., Va...."

Mrs. Letitia (Preston) Floyd (wife of Governor John Floyd , and daughter of William and Susannah [Smith] Preston ) in a letter to her son Colonel Benjamin Rush Floyd , dated Feb. 22, 1843 , and published in The Standard, Richmond , June 5, 1880 , page 4, column 2, says that William Preston married July 17, 1761 , Susannah Smith , daughter of Francis Smith , of Hanover . Though there appears among the late E. P. Valentine 's papers no evidence from official records specifically stating the names of the children of Francis Smith , yet the relationship of Granville Smith , and Mrs. Susannah (Smith) Preston as brother and sister is tracable to a statement of Mrs. Susan Ann (Pleasants) Gray , a grand daughter of Granville Smith .* It is clear from the will of Thomas Smith , of Louisa County , dated March 30, 1795 , probated April 10, 1797 (see ante page 2178), that said Thomas Smith had brothers Francis Smith , Parke Smith and Granville Smith , and a sister Mrs. Edward Johnson . Thus we have the names of six children of Francis Smith , viz.: Susannah (Mrs. Preston ), Elizabeth (Mrs. Johnson ) Thomas Smith , Granville Smith , Parke Smith and Francis Smith . The names of John Smith , Ballard Smith and William Smith appear in the list of the children of Francis Smith as given by his great grand-daughter, Mrs. Susan Ann (Pleasants) Gray , grand daughter of Granville Smith .

There has not so far been discovered any record evidence of the parentage of Francis Smith , of Hanover County . The tradition among his descendants is that he was a son of "Doctor John Smith and Elizabeth Ballard ." This statement is contained in account of her family given by his great grand-daughter, Mrs. Letitia (Floyd) Lewis * (wife Colonel William L. Lewis ), in a letter to Honorable Robert W. Hughes , under date of June 13, 1879 , and published in The Standard, Richmond, Virginia , September 18, 1880 , page 4, column 2.

"Doctor John Smith " is evidently a mistake for William Smith , as there is record evidence of the fact that William Smith (died 1734 ) married Elizabeth , daughter of Thomas Ballard .*

The cumulative circumstantial evidence by reason of which Francis Smith is "placed" in this pedigree as a son of William and Elizabeth (Ballard) Smith , is as follows:
1. The tradition derived through Mrs. Letitia Lewis to the effect that Francis Smith 's mother was "Elizabeth Ballard ."
2. The constant recurrence of the name of Ballard as a baptismal name among the descendants of Francis Smith .
3. The appearance in the records of Francis Smith and Thomas Ballard Smith , of Louisa County , acting together in several transactions. Francis Smith and Thomas Ballard Smith executors of John Smith , August, 1744 (see ante page 2164) and their connection with the so-called Granville Company. (See ante page 2187 et seq.)

The Valentine Papers, Vol 1-4, 1864-1908
Pasteur Family*
Smith Family (For data from records relative to this Smith family see ante page 2160 et seq.)
4. [probably] John Smith . At Caroline County Court, August 1744 , in a petition brought by Thomas Ballard Smith and Francis Smith executors of the last will and testament of John Smith , decd., against William Barkesdale ; judgment is granted against the defendant.

(Caroline County Order Book 1741-6 , page 305.) The will of John Smith , who certainly died prior to August, 1744 , was not recorded in Caroline County . The will books of that county are missing, but the order books (from 1732 ) are preserved and were searched by by the late Creed T. Davis for this item. Neither is this John Smith 's will in Spotsylvania , Essex , Louisa , Middlesex ; nor was it been turned up in any search made by the late E. P. Valentine .*
