Notes - !NOTES:Marty Grant's 4th Great Grand Parent.;
!NOTES:Other researchers claim Esther Smith, d/o Daniel & Pleasant, as the one who married a Mr. Capps in 1797. However, unless there is some evidence I haven't seen yet, I think the one who married Wilson Gilbert in 1799 is the d/o Daniel & Pleasant instead. Reasons:
1. Wilson Gilbert & his wife Esther Smith lived next door to widow Pleasant Smith in census and were neighbors per other records.
2. Wilson & Esther named son Daniel, presumably after Daniel Smith.
3. Wilson & Esther named son Thomas, presumably after Thomas Smith.
4. DNA evidence shows I'm related to these Smiths. Of course that doesn't preclude Esther Smith Gilbert from being from another branch of same family.
