Comments:
Stephen was born in VA and married Sally in 1824 in VA. Stephen would have
been about 26-27 years old at the time. If he is the son of Nathaniel B. (b.
1773) then he may living with his father; may have remained in VA until after
his marriage or have returned to VA for his marriage. In any case, he does not
show as a head of household in TN until 1840.
Need to find birth places for each of his children from the 1850
censuses.
Need to find Stephen's probate file. Try Hickman Co., TN.

Sarah Wood Johnson "Sally" was born about 1797 in , Virginia. She died in 1860/1870. She married Stephen Smithson on 7 May 1824 in , Lunenburg, Virginia.

Sally was age 53 in 1850 and age 62 in 1860. She is not listed in
the 1870
census.

Comments:
Sally was Sally Wood in her marriage record. Had she been married
to a WOOD before she married Stephen? The funeral home record says
her name is Sally Johnson.
