[Dear Editor,]

I'm trying to find my G.G. Grandfather, C.B. Smith, wife Mary? I don't know what the C.B. stands for. He may have lived in Montgomery Co. or Pulaski Co. He had a son Hiram and grandson, C.B. who lived in Hiwassee, Va. on the New River.

I hope some of you readers can help me. Thank you.

[Dear Editor,]

My great grandfather was born in East Virginia in approximately 1830. His name was Dennis Vaughn. He apparently left Virginia and settled in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, marrying Gemima Gibson from Washington, Pa. He died in 1876.

I would appreciate any information that might be relevant. Thank you,
