Individual Details

Mildred married Edward Smith. He was a witness to the marriage of Elizabeth Byrd to John Harmon. He is thought to have been born in Ireland.

The name is often seen as Millard, and it also shows up as Millard when she and her sister both used that name for a daughter. However, the name was Mildred. The family files show children born over a period of some 29 years - that may be a liitle bit too many. Perhaps the children were born closer together than shown and the eldest born not so early.
