Giles Smith and Sarah Singleton

Jiles/Giles Smith and Sarah Singleton, dt of John and Elizabeth Singleton of Rhea Co., TN. were in Barry County, MO for the 1850 Federal Census. Jiles was the son of Charles and Nancy Jacobs Smith and was from Union Co., South Carolina to Rhea County. Charles was the son of James and Mary George Smith of Union County, SC and I think the George family may have had ties to Rhea County as well as did the Smith and Singleton family. John and Elizabeth Singleton died in Rhea County, TN., and they are listed on the 1830 Rhea County Census. It is interesting to look at the 1830 Rhea County, Tennessee census and pick out the names that are Barry Co., MO. names. It’s really unbelievable how many of these families moved over to Missouri and settled in Southern Missouri.
