| THE SMITH FAMILY TREE |
This is a special thanks to all of my fellow genealogy researchers. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT. |
| Rodger Smith was my great grandfather. From the time that I was a little boy I have wanted to know who was he? Where did he come from? Was he enslaved? Was he free? The answer to these questions have lead me on a eight year Genealogy journey. My book is an attempt to answer some of these question, so that our grandchildren won't have to ask them. |
| This book is dedicated to Louisa Smith-Credle, and to all of the loving family and friends that help to bring it about. |

| This was one of Ida Mae favorite poem taken from her Bible: Forgotten When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me; Plant thou no roses at my head Nor shady cypress-tree; Be the green above me With showers and dew-drop wet; And If thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget. I shall not see the shadows, I shall not feel the rain; I shall not hear the nightingale Sing on, as if in pain: And dreaming through the twilight That doth not rise nor set, Haply I may remember, And haply may forget C.C. Rossette |
