Enslaver Notes:

1850 and 1860 slave schedules listed males of the approximate age of Henry Smith. In 1850, enslaver was listed as “F. Smith” Enslaver was listed as Francis Smith in 1860, which was probably his formal given name. By 1870, the former enslaver was enumerated as John F. Smith. His occupation of wagon maker matched that of Francis Smith’s occupation of wagon wright in the 1850 census. At least two of John F. Smith’s children matched individuals listed as Francis Smith’s children in 1850 and 1860.

The 1878 Kentucky death register listed the death of Francis Smith, born about 1806 in Nelson County. His occupation was listed as Wagon Wright.

Annie Smith was enumerated in 1880 Nelson County, residing with a son named Wm. Dalmazzo, an apparent son from her first marriage.
