Charles Frank Smith

Charles Frank Smith was my Great, Great Grandfather. Charles was born 22 February, 1852 near Bounds, in Wayne County, Missouri. He was the son of Alexander W. "Dock" Smith and Catherine E. Smith nee Wright of Macon County, Tennessee. Catherine was the daughter of Hubbard and Massa Wright nee Ford.

Charles had two wives, the first of which is my Great, Great Grandmother. Her name was Lucinda sometimes shown on the census as Lacinda. Her maiden name is not known. Two children were born of their union, my Great Grandmother Darthula Dalue Smith and her brother James.A Smith.

Grandfather Charles married for a second time on 28 April 1896 in Wayne County, Missouri to a woman named Donia Kasimeas. His death certificate states that he was both widowed and divorced.

It is estimated that he and Grandmother Lucinda married about 1875, I have yet to locate a marriage record for them though.

Grandfather Charles died 25 June 1914. His cause of death was listed as Tuberculosis.

I would love to be able to find out the maiden name for Grandmother Lucinda. If anyone has any clues as to who it might be please feel free to leave me a message.
