This family was connected to my third great grandparents Jacob England and Dica Ann (Dicy) Smith. I believe that Biddy age 36 was Bridget Smith, who might have been Dicy's sister. In 1862, Jacob and Dicy sold 182 acres to Louis Franklin, making reference to an 1848 deed where the land was purchased by Henry Franklin. The land had apparently been inherited by Dicy, although neither a will nor a settlement has been found for Henry Franklin. The exact family relationships for these people definitely have not been worked out to my satisfaction. |

A John Bradshaw was the bondsman for the marriage of my third great grandparents Jacob England and Dica Ann (Dicy) Smith in Burke County, North Carolina in 1848. I do not believe that this John Bradshaw was the bondsman. See page 353b for a better possibility. |

I transcribed this census entry because it's nearby to John A. Bradshaw. A John Bradshaw was the bondsman for the marriage of my third great grandparents Jacob England and Dica Ann (Dicy) Smith in Burke County, North Carolina in 1848. I believe that John A. Bradshaw was the bondsman. So the suspicion is that Adolphus Smith was related to Dicy Smith. Aldolphus Smith's wife was Passenfare York. |

A John Bradshaw was the bondsman for the marriage of my third great grandparents Jacob England and Dica Ann (Dicy) Smith in Burke County, North Carolina in 1848. I believe that John A. Bradshaw was the bondsman. So the suspicion is that James Smith was related to Dicy Smith. Given the ages of James and Elizabeth Smith and the ages of the various Smith family members living nearby, it seems likely that James and Elizabeth were the parents of many of these people. That leads to the possibility that James and Elizabeth were the parents of Dicy Smith. |
