Barton Brown SMITH was the son of Brooks SMITH & Tabitha Ann WRIGHT. Per a bible record, housed in the Heritage House, in Scottsdale, AL, it states:

" . . . Barton Brown Smith was borned in Jackson County, Alabama the 17th of September, 1827. Cidney Baretta Carter Smith was borned in Talladega, Alabama the 3rd of September, 1846.

Dr. Barton Brown Smith and Sidney Barretta Carter were married April 23rd, 1865.

Barton Brown Smith departed this life August 22, 1907.
Cidney Baretta C. Smith departed this life January 26, 1894.

NOTE: Barton Brown Smith first married Sarah Elizabeth Jones in 1853. Her father, George Tannahill Jones, disapproved of the marriage and when she died without heirs, he came for her things. Smith refused this request and kept her things, including a portrait of George T. Jones. Almost 70 years later, I bought this portrait back from Mrs. Jones of Scottsboro, A l a., a daughter of Barton B. Smith by his seond marriage, P.J.B."

Barton & Cidney had the following children:

Albert, b 1868
Barton Jr, b 1870
Carrie M, b 1872
Augusta P, b 1875
Noeme S, b 1879.

His first wife, Sarah Elizabeth Jones is buried in Aspel Methodist Church in Jackson County, AL, where Barton's parents are buried.

All of the above information was sent to me.
-----------------
Different sources give his middle name as Brook(s) vs. Brown.

Though most of his then-contemporary sources give his middle name as
Brown, Brook(s) after his father would make more sense.

His son, also was named Barton B. Smith, and all sources I have found list him
as Barton Brook(s) Smith (Jr.) where it specifies the middle initial. (Several list
him only as Barton B. Smith or B. B. Smith).

It might be helpful to make a note of this name variation in his bio to aid others
in their research.
