Looking for the parents of James C. Smith b. N.C. 1799 and Lethe Brown b. N.C. 1805-10 James C. Smith was born 1799 N.C. married Lethe Brown in Guilford Co. N.C. 6-5-1827. I believe Lethe's father may be John Brown, he was the bondsman on her marriage bond. They had 10 children 8 in N.C. and 2 in Va. They left Guilford and went to Stokes Co. N.C. in the early 1840's and then on to Smyth Co. Va. where James C. Smith was listed in the 1850 census as constable. Also there was in Smyth Co. Va. census in 1850 Ransom J.C. Smith, Green Smith, Meade Smith and William Smith all born in North Carolina, maybe all related.
