They had three sons together, and which one was my grandfather. There apparently was another son George Smith and a William (Bill) Smith.

Vernon, IL, and had a son whose name is/was Bob Pruitt, and his other sister was Hattie (Smith) Padgett, and also was living in Mt. Vernon, IL. I was also told of another sister, whom was Mary Pauline (Smith) Back.

Joseph Smith (was my great-great grandfather) DOB ca. 1808. He married Eliza Jane Akins married ca. 1845 in Ridgway, IL, and he died ca. 1863.

I also have a cousin Sheila Pinkston buried in Westwood Cemetery, Shawneetown. Now James Back's father was Mitch Back and was married to Mary Hise, there are no dates for them at all. Now Josephine Mossbarger's parents were John W Mossbarger and he was married to Alice D. Pruitt. now there is nothing else that I have. If any of this rings a bell please let me know.
