George K. Smith (the last ancestor that I have authentic proof of in 1953 - BTA) owned around 1100 acres of land in Pittsylvania County, Virginia on Tomahawk Creek (near Museville). According to family tradition, he was born near Museville, Virginia and buried near Tomahawk, Va. where he lived. Family tradition says he was a miller. Value of property, $15,302; George K. Smith married Susan Adkins and had the following issue:
1. Booker (Bowker) Smith was never married. He built the R.J. Reynolds tobacco factory and manufactured tobacco. He had a train of wagons and sold it through the Carolinas and Georgia. He died in early manhood so showed a genius for business ability quite young. (This line of Smith's are related to R.J.Reynolds' wife according to Dr. George Smith Anderson, nephew of Booker Smith). According to his tombstone at the old Smith home near Tomahawk he died Sepember 23, 1841.
2. Ralph Smith, born September 1, 1813; d. January7, 1902; married 7th December 1843, Ardennia Wright (b. Jan. 14, 1827;d. Jan. 24, 1904). Ralph was

He owned a vast amount of land on Tomahawk Creek and had many slaves who stayed on with him even after the war as long as he lived, thus making it most profitable for him. He was a very successful farmer. During the Civil War he lost a leg but this did not seem to handicap him in anyway. He once rode horseback alone to Kentucky with nine thousand dollars in his pocket and purchased 1000 acres of land from a Mr. Grubb for himself, Mr. Joe Reynolds and Ward Reynolds which extended from Greenpond back to Bearskin Creek, etc.
He and wife were buried at their old home place where the home and tombstones still stand (1953).
