First Generation

1. Aaron Joseph SMITH was born 4 Aug 1864 in Georgia. He died 30 Aug 1939 in Munday, Knox, Texas and was buried in Munday, Knox, Texas.

Notes from Roy Clarke Leggitt

In October 1999, Angie Smith said, “I talked with Josephine Danield Sunday night. According to her (Ezra’s

daughter) AJ and Ollie Mae were living with her family, (that being Ezra’s family) in Cleburne, Texas. AJ and

Ezra had a falling out and AJ went to Smith County, Texas to live with Aaron Benjamin and Winnie. He left Ollie

Mae behind because she was sick. He went back later to bring her to Winnie’s house. While living with Aaron B.

and Winnie, AJ answered an ad in the newspaper that Dora Brown had run looking for a husband.”

Angie later said, “I don’t believe AJ moved his family to Munday; I think they were raised in Tillman County,

Oklahoma and didn’t move there until after 1903. In the 1900 census tha family was in Cullman County (Pct 7,

Dermind) Alabama. Arzo claimed to have been born in Mineola, Wood County, Texas, next county over from

Smith County, Lindale. AJ moved to Munday after he answered an ad in the newspaper where Dora Brown was

looking for a husband.”

The following are stories told by Mrs. Josephine Daniels, daughter of Ezra David Smith, to Angie Smith.

Odelia, Fanny, and Georgia were married in Oklahoma and sprung their guys out of jail. The guys wer in jail for ”

horse theifing.” Grandpa Smith said, “The devil or God one, had an ill will toward me and paid me off in sorry

sons-in-law.”

Grandpa Smith was a hard shell Baptist and he was very strict with the raising of his children. He had bought a

new pair of black socks that he was planning on wearing to church on Sunday. Saturday evening, Leonard, Arzo

and Leonard Brown, his step son, filled the new block socks with ashes from the stove. There was to be a foot

washing at church and when Grandpa Smith removed his socks, his feet were covered in soot and ash. He was so

mad and embarrassed. By the time he returned home, his three boys had left home in haste. They took off for east

Texas to hide out with relatives until Grandpa was over his mad spell; they were gone for six months.
