Smith Cemetery, 72-2 Summary Report, page 7
The genealogy of a Hughy Smith from York County, South Carolina is reported on Ancestry.com's World Tree by several sources, all of whom agree fairly well on the details. However, the researchers who posted to Ancestry.com's World Tree for that Hughy Smith did not have the decendancy records for him. He was simply known to be one of 9 children of James Smith and his wife Mary Henry of York County. When James died in 1821, he left the plantation where his son Hughy was living to one of his daughters. That may have been because Hughy was already in fact living in Madison County, Alabama, on land that he purchased in 1818. Even if Hughy was still residing in South Carolina, he must have already purchased the Alabama land and stated intentions to move from South Carolina. In any event, when James left the South Carolina plantation (about 10 miles from Yorkville, which is near the border with North Carolina and Kings Mountain Military National Park) to Hughy's sister, it certainly would have provided motivation to relocate to Alabama, if he had not already done so.
