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 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.
