2.  Notes in [[double brackets]] are from Mrs. Barbara A. Smith (nee Underhill)'s USPS mailings of 25 Jul 2000, below, where she quotes her late husband and my double-fourth cousin Roy Lester Smith.

3.  Most of the rest is from double-fourth cousin Barbara Ward who owns the marvelous old photo album with some 75 family photos in it.

4.  Now I have info on Robert Isom Smith (and his descendants) from Bud Norris and Merry Ann Brown (forwarded to me by Barbara Ward) as well as from the 1880 census.

5.  The person at this address, drjudy@westal.net, did a walk-through of the Mars Hill Cemetery near Marion, Perry Co., AL, and recorded the findings at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/9365/marshill.html.  I have gratefully copied much of the information below from this source. Since then, however, I have visited the cemetery twice myself, confirming her accuracy.

6.  Double-fourth cousin Bud Lester and his son Brian have shared volumes on their line through emails and Facebook photos.

7.  Data has been taken from several Findagrave.com memorials posted variously by Sarah M, Cat, Ruth M. Brown, Tim Hawkins, and T. B. Willis; thanks very much to all these friends and family!

In July 2004 in the cemetery in the woods across the road from Azion Baptist Church (also across the road from where St. Luke's Church was at the time and had been for years), Martin's Station, Dallas Co., AL, I found and uncovered his fallen and buried tombstone, which reads: SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF I S O M   G W I N, BORN MARCH 17TH 1817, AND DIED DECEMBER 17TH 1853 IN HOPES OF A GLORIOUS IMMORTALITY.             THE DECEASED WAS A NATIVE OF THIS STATE AND WAS RAISED FROM AN INFANT IN THIS COUNTY.              IN 1837 HE MARRIED MISS MARY B. WILSON; HE BECAME RELIGIOUS IN 1840, AND      UNITED WITH THE PROTESTANT METHODIST CHURCH OF WHICH HE LIVED A MEMBER    TILL HIS DEATH.                          IN HIS DEATH HIS BEREAVED WIFE, MOURNS THE LOSS OF A KIND AND AFFECTIONATE HUSBAND, HIS TWO CHILDREN THE LOSS OF A TENDER AND LOVING FATHER, HIS PARENTS A DUTIFUL AND BELOVED SON, HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS A LOVING AND BELOVED BROTHER. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.                                                                                                                  Rev.                     ALLEN	After Isom died in 1853, Mary waited about six years, then married her also-recently-widowed pastor, John Steadman, and moved to Cahawba, where he died in 1862. As late as 1870 she and her father, Nathaniel Burdine Wilson, were living with her daughter  Mary Jane Smith and MJ's husband, William Smith.  But when Mary Jane got sick and died the next year, her brother, Dr. Isham G. Wilson, took over the care of their father, Mary B. moved to Marion in Perry Co., to live near or with her other daughter, Martha, where Mary died and is buried. I'm not sure where Rev. Steadman is buried; it's possibly in a now-unmarked grave at Cahawba's New Cemetery (but don't quote me on that). In July 2006, I got to visit the Mars Hill Cemetery and photograph her stone, which reads: Mary B. Steadman Died Jan. 12, 1877 Age 60 Yrs., 2 Mos., 3 D.
Obituary from the Dallas Gazette, Dec. 23, 1853: -- DIED --         At his residence, sixteen miles from Cahaba, on Wednesday, the 7th inst., ISOM GWIN, Esq., in the 37th year of his age.          The deceased was one of the most valuable and esteemed citizens of this county; and by his upright conduct endeared himself to all his acquaintances.  He was, at the time of his death and for thirteen years prior to this sad event, a member of the Protestant Methodist Church.         Before his death, he gave the brightest assurances of his future reward in heaven.  His last words, when friends and relatives were gathered round his dying pillow, were "Hallelujah! Heaven's already in view!"          He leaves a wife and two children to mourn the loss of a kind husband and affectionate father.	No obituary for Mary B. has been found yet.

OBITUARY

        Lester Nowlin Yeager was born in Iola, Texas on November 26, 1891. His parents were George P. and Nettie Yeager. He had four brothers, Earl, Willard, Pierce, and Howard; and three sisters, Lola, Ann and Alma.
        After finishing high school, he attended Sam Houston College in Huntsville. He played on the football and baseball teams. In the school annual, beneath his senior year picture, was inscribed, "Quiet, but very dependable. He will always get the job done." These words spoke for him throughout his life.
        He married Mabel Smith, and they had one daughter, Lester Marie Yeager.
        In business, he owned a hardware and gift shop and was a very successful farmer and rancher.
        Lester Yeager was a devoted member of the First Baptist Church. He served as Sunday School Superintendent for thirty-one years.  He was a member of the Navasota City commission and served a term as mayor. He was a life member of the Grimes County chamber of Commerce and was president in 1939-1940. He was a building and finance chairman of the Grimes Memorial Hospital as long as he was able to work.
        He was a man with many hobbies and interests. He was an avid sports fan. He played golf. He spent many happy hours watching sports events on his TV. He could quote the batting average of many players, and the total yardage gained by many football stars.
        He always had a spring and fall garden in his yard. And he had a huge fig tree. He was most generous in sharing his produce with his many friends.
        The Yeagers were interested in and very generous to Sam Houston University and to Baylor University. They received many honors from both schools.  Lester Yeager realized the importance of education. Many young people are grateful to him for scholarships to Baylor, which they received through his generosity.
        He was preceded in death by his wife and daughter. He died February 23, 1980.

[Barbara Ward Note: Hi John,  My cousin Annie Ford Wheeler in Birmingham sent me some pictures today; what she thought were old Lester photos. Well, one (above) was a family portrait of William J. Smith, Mary Jane, and son Robert Isom!!  It is in an oval frame and looks like it might have been taken right before she died (in 1871).  Son Robert looks about 15 years old.  I compared the pictures on page 24A & B.  William is wearing the same suit and Mary Jane has on what looks like the same pair of earrings!  I am going to send the original to Barbara Smith in Texas.  I don't know if Roy's family had a photo of his grandfather as a young boy.]
