Last Name First/Maiden DOB DOD Notes
Allen Emily Smyth 18-Sept-1827 3-Jan-1907

 Emily Smyth Allen, one of my 2nd great grandmothers. I actually visited the cemetery last year & noted the error on the tombstone. Her maiden name was Allen & her married name was Smyth. 

The three Smyth's and Wagley in the list were four of her children. 

She was born in KY. She married Andrew F. Smyth of Jasper. He was a landowner in Jasper who is best known perhaps as the owner and captain of the steamboat Laura which plied the Angelina & Neches rivers. Andrew came from Alabama while Texas was still a part of Mexico. 

One of her grandfathers was Joseph Grigsby who helped found Beaumont & founded Grigsby's Bluff which is now Port Neches in Jefferson County. 

Thank you, Andrew Smyth AFS_Bevilport@msn.com
