Research Notes

It appears this individual was mistakenly matched to a Jennie Smith listed in the Social Security death index (3 Mar 1875 - 15 Nov 1967) from Shelby County, Tennessee. However, the death certificate for Jennie Smith from 1943 lists her parents as Willis G. Reeves and Virginia Townsend, with Alga Reeves (Jennie's sister) as informant.
