The Smith-Kitely/Kiteley Family
the Smiths were of English/Scotch or Irish ancestry and came to the new world at an early date. Samuel Smith was b. ca 1739-43 possibly in/near Baltimore, MD. He m. Hannah Jane Kitely/Kiteley about 1769. We think she may have been the dau of Francis and Mary/Martha (Thomas) Kiteley of Baltimore Co, MD. If Hannah proves to be their dau, her birth year was 1748 and siblings were John Thomas, Mary, Francis and possibly William Kiteley. It is probable that Samuel Smith and his family were listed on the 1790 census in Montgomery Co, MD. About 1792 Samuel and Hannah moved to Rowan Co, NC where they bought land in the northeast quadrant of what later became Davie Co, NC. A Bible record dated 1779 denotes the birthdates of nine children: 1. Jane Smith b. 1770 in MD. She m. a BEEDING ca 1790 in MD? They had issue and Jane died in Davie Co, NC in 1854. 2. John Smith b. 1774 in MD. He m. in 1797 in Surry Co, NC to Elizabeth SPEER, dau of Benjamin and Ruth (Steelman) Speer. John's family went to Cumberland Co, KY in 1805 and they later moved down to Overton Co, TN where John d. in 1855. Their children resided Cumberland Co, KY. 3. William Smith b. 1777 in MD. He m. in 1800 in Surry Co, NC to Nancy SPEER, another dau of Benjamin and Ruth (Steelman) Speer. William and his family also moved to Cumberland Co, KY in 1805. We can't locate them after he sold his land in Overton Co, TN in 1826. We have a death date of 1851 for William, but we have no information about his children or where he died. 4. Samuel Smith b. 1779 MD. He m. in 1797 in Rowan Co, NC to Jane Dorothea Dolly GATES, dau of Edward and Esther Gates. Samuel d. in 1839 in Davie Co where they raised their family. 5. James Smith b. 1782 in MD. He m. ca 1801 Rowan Co? NC to Mary Elizabeth JOB, dau of Samuel and Rachel (Little) Job. James' family also moved to Cumberland Co, KY in 1805 where they resided on Kettle Creek until about 1820 when they went to Union/Wayne Co, IN. In 1829 they moved to Morgan Co, IL until 1845 when they moved to neighboring Cass Co, IL. Again in 1854 they moved to Madison Co, IA, and this is where they d. in 1855. 6.

He m. in 1815 in Rowan Co, NC to Mary Polly ETCHISON, dau of Edmund Etchison. They went to Lawrence Co, IN where they had a family and where they resided in Spice Valley Twp.
