TX, includes Archibald Smith and Sarah Smith. 1833 list includes A.B. Smith and Sarah Smith. This
transcription shows that on Oct. 25, 1832, Archibald B. Smith was received by experience and Sarah
Smith by recantation. In April 1836 the church received a letter from Sardis Church concerning A.B.
Smith. Matter of Sardis Church and A.B. Smith was discussed again in May 1836. It was decided that
there was a difficulty between some of the members of Sardis Church and Bro. Smith and the matter
would be left up to Sardis Church. In February 1837 Shultz Creek obtained the letter that had been
given to Archibald and Sarah and then gave Sarah a separate letter. Sara was living in household with

was listed as Sally Smith. Jacque

Notes for WILLIAM BAILEY BRACKNELL, SR.: In 1920 Bibb County census..shows W.B. with a new wife...
young...living on Brent St...with a 1 1/2 year old daughter.. I went to the wake tonight as I am
friends of Mrs. W. B., Jr's daughter-in-law and discovered the error. I had W.B. Bracknell as the
s/o William Bailey Bracknell and his first wife. His, William Bailey, Sr.'s, 2d wife was Anna Caddis
by whom he had more children, the youngest being Geneva whose remarks I quoted. It turns out that W.
B. was also named William Bailey which accounts for the mixup. DJ
I looked through my notes on Wm. Bailey who m. Nancy Deason and Anna Caddis. His youngest child
gave me this information: He had 1 son and 2 daughters by his first wife but I got no names. He had
4 children by Anna. These were Clara Mae, W.D. (I must have heard W.B. as W.D. and I presume this is
William Bailey whose wife just died), Bartee and Geneva. The latter was 14 months old when Anna died
and 18 months old when Wm. Bailey died. Geneva was raised by her mother's sister, Ora Vivian Caddis
Tune. She told me "W.D." married Ethel Elam. DJ
