8	1. "Joseph Smith was born about 1774 probably in either NC or VA to parents unknown but the repeating name of Benjamin may be a clue. We do not know much about Joseph, his parents, wife etc but do know where he lived, who his friends were and who his children were. He was granted land in Anson County, NC on Lanes Creek in 1799 beside land he already had. He sold land to Roland Williams (1799); Josiah K. Pond (1808); Burrell Benton (1810); Nathaniel Preslar (1821); Absolum Caudle (1827) David Liles (1828); James Moore (1833); and Elijah Ratliff (1833). Witness to many of his deeds was done by Arch Carraway and his wife Elizabeth Taylor. He witnessed the will of Michael Nash and sold a slave to his son, Benjamin, in 1833. He is on the 1840 census in Anson County, NC but not the 1850 census (Lanesboro). A clue to his parents and his wife may lie in the naming of his children or grandchildren. His children (from a family Bible) are:" Nan Wrenn - January 14, 2009 ________________________________________________________________________________	SMITH, Joseph (I14042)
9	1. "Out on a Limb", p.62: There is a place on the Blueridge Parkway that is called Wild Cat Rock and from there you can look off down the mountains and see a little cabin - that cabin is where Harrison Caudill raised his family. {The cabin visible from Wild Cat Rock circa. 2001 is the cabin of his son, Alford Martin}. Harrison and two of his brothers, Thomas and Ruff, went to Wilkes County to settle. After a short time, Thomas and Ruff went back to Surry County and Harrison bought their adjoining farms, giving him a total of about 500 acres there in the mountains. Harrison built himself a cabin and home in which he raised his family, but in 1916, a flood washed away part of his house. He then moved into the cabin which his brother Ruff had built a number of years prior to this event. It was here that Harrison lived until his death in 1924. One thing that was always amusing to everyone was that of his 22 children, half were boys and half were girls and half were red-hair-heads (as they were called), and half had brown hair. (Harrison had red hair). They were a real pioneering family that worked hard to make a better life, but suffered through many hardships and sorrows.such as the week in which four of his children died with scarlet fever. The following is part of the obituary and tribute to James Harrison Caudill which was written by his son-in-law Wiley Combs. Harrison Caudill was born February 3, 1839 and departed this life September 15, 1924. His stay here on earth was 85 years 7 months and 12 days. "He was married to Mary Candis Tilley in 1857. Unto this union were born six children (two girls and four boys). The Lord saw fit to call his companion away to the better home leaving him with six little children. He afterwards married Sarah Jane Tilley and to this union were born 16 children (nine girls and seven boys), 22 children in all. Six preceded him in death, also his second wife preceded him in death. Two or three years after the departure of his second wife, he married Aplha Wagoner, 1912. He professed a living hope in Christ and joined the Primitive Baptist Church at Whiteoak in Surry County, before the war, and was a soldier in the warfare for the Lord of glory. The church went down at Whiteoak where he first joined and when Basin Creek Church was organized, he joined there by application and a good recommendation and remained a faithful member until death, filling his seat as long as he was able to go to church. He honored his profession, and contended for the faith, firn unto the end. He labored hard through life, and had much trouble and trials, but from the fruit he bore we feel, and assured that he is sweetly resting on the other shore with many of his loved ones gone on before. He was badly afflicted in his old age, had heart dropsy and was sitting in his chair talking to one of his grandsons and died suddenly. His body was deposited in the family graveyard by the side of his second wife to await the ressurection. He leaves his third wife, sixteen children and a large connection to mourn their loss, but weep not children, our loss is his eternal gain.

12	1. "Theron Lamar Caudle, Jr., United States Assistant Attorney General under President Harry S. Truman, was born in Wadesboro, North Carolina on June 22, 1904, the son of Theron Lamar Caudle, Sr. and Susie Gooch Caudle. His father was a prominent attorney. Lamar, Jr. was educated at Wake Forest, receiving his undergraduate and law degrees there. After passing the bar, he practiced law in his hometown of Wadesboro, becoming Western North Carolina District Attorney before assuming his national position. Lamar Caudle, Jr. was married to the former Fairfid Monsalvatage of Augusta, Georgia. They were the parents of four children: Theron Lamar Caudle, III of Dallas, Texas; Thomas Marshall Caudle of Atlanta, Georgia; Mrs. Bernard Kendall of Florence, South Carolina, and Miss Fairfid Caudle of New York City. A brother, Charles B. Caudle of Charlotte, died; his two sisters are Mrs. Charles Nelms Ingram of Florence, South Carolina and Mrs. Stancil Smith of Alexandria, Virginia. Mrs. Caudle died on December 3, 1961 and Theron Lamar, Jr. died on April 1, 1969. He is survived by his second wife, the former Ellen Hildreth of Wadesboro. Fairfid and Lamar are buried in the Caudle plot at East View Cemetery, Wadesboro." "Though not a charter member [of the Anson County U.D.C. Chapter], Mrs. T.L. Caudle was also active and enthusiastic, taking part on local, state, and national levels. Mrs. Caudle was literary agent for Sidney Lanier for many years." Taken from History of Anson County 1750-1976, by Mary L. Medley Pages 219, 270-271. According to Dr. W.R. Caudle, genealogist, Lamar served as Assistant Attorney General under Harry Truman from 1945 to 1951, when Truman fired him over a scandal in which he played no part. When the Attorney General appealed to Truman on Lamar’s behalf, he also was fired.	CAUDLE, Theron Lamar Sr. (I14107)

20	1. 1893 - 1967 My father was the fourth of eight children and the first son born to Wiley and Wincy Caudle. He was born in an humble Christian home where he developed a strong body and formulated high, Christian ideals. He was converted at 15 and affilated himself with Deep Springs Baptist Church in the home community. On November 25, 1914, he married his community sweetheart, Letha Newton. In 1916 my father announced the Lord's call for him to enter the ministry. That June he preached his first time at his home church. In August of the same year he accepted a call to the Center Grove Baptist Church in Chesterfield County, SC. From that time until his death in 1967, my father engaged in Christian ministry either full time or, after his retirement in 1959, as supply or interim ministry. My father was ordained in 1917 by his home church, Deep Springs Baptist, and later the same year called as that church's pastor and also called by Mount Zion Baptist in Union County, NC. In 1918 my mother and father moved to Wingate, NC so that my father could attend school to better prepare himself for his life's work. While at Wingate, my father served a number of rural churches as their pastor. He served these churches from two to six years and served as many as eight at one time. These churches are as follows: In Union County, NC: Sandy Ridge, Mountain Springs, Ebenezer, Macedonia, Mount Pleasant, Oak Grove, and Corinth. In Chesterfield County, SC: Wolf Pond, Spring Hill, Elizabeth, Bethlehem, and Clear Creek Church in Mecklenburg County, NC. My mother and father's first two sons were born at Wingate. Craven Burris was born in 1920 and Norman Bryant in 1922. In 1924 my father accepted his first full-time pastorate at North Charlotte Baptist (now Whitling Avenue) in Mecklenburg County, NC. He also served as part-time pastor of Friendship Baptist Church (later Berryhill). While here their third son, Broadus Sherron was born in 1925. In 1930 my father became the pastor of Morven Baptist Church in Anson County, NC. He also served the following rural churches: In Anson County, NC: Deep Creek, Cedar Grove, Red Hill, Pleasant Grove, and Mount Croghan in Chesterfield County, SC. While at Morven, the only daughter, Sarah Louisa was born in 1930. In 1931 my father accepted a pastorate at Thrift Baptist Church in Mecklenburg County, NC where he served for the next three years. In 1934 my father accepted a pastorate at Durham Memorial Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC where he remained until 1938. While here, he also again became part-time minister of Friendship Baptist Church. In 1938 our family moved to Lenoir, NC where my father became pastor of Lower Creek Baptist Church for the next eight years. These were the most difficult years for our family, our church, and our nation. He was pastor of this church during World War II in which some 100 young men from our church family including the three Caudle brothers were called on to fight in the war. The church had five killed in service and others missing and several prisoners of war. On April 13, 1942, we watched as Lower Creek Baptist Church was destroyed by fire. Four days previously, all building materials were frozen due to World War II. No one living knows the hard work and diligent efforts my father did to see that this church was rebuilt at this time except me. I actually do feel he gave to this church the very best years of his life. With some help from others, as well as much effort from my father, the church did get a permit to rebuild during the war. The first Sunday in October, 1943, the congregation of Lower Creek Baptist Church moved into a new, 600-capacity church building. As the war ended, the young men came back to their homes and church which included the three Caudle brothers who returned from the war unharmed physically. While in Lenoir, my father served as moderator of the Caldwell Baptist Association. He also served as Pastor of Mulvale Baptist Church part-time. His oldest son Craven married Fletcher McNeil in October of 1946 in Lenoir. In 1947 my father accepted the pastorate at the First Baptist Church in Aberdeen, NC. This was a difficult move for me in that the ones moving were my mother, father, and me. I was 16, a difficult age to be moving. This church purchased land and began a building fund for a new church building. My father served for one year as moderator of the Sandy Creek Baptist Association. He also served as the Baptist Minister of Samarcand, at that time, a State institution for girls. Also, while in Aberdeen my second brother, Norman married Gladys Rowe. My parents became grandparents as Craven and Fletcher presented them with their first grandson, Neil. At the end of 1953 my father and mother moved to Albemarle, NC where my father became the superintendent of the Baptist Home for the Aging. He was in administrative and promotional work during his stay in Albemarle. Also, Craven and Fletcher presented them with their first granddaughter, Patricia. Norman and Gladys presented them with an additional grandson, Donald and another granddaughter, Catherine. In 1957 my mother and father again moved. This time my father became pastor of the Hoskins Avenue Baptist Church in Mecklenburg County, NC. This was a very rewarding pastorate from which he retired from full-time Christian Service on April 12, 1959. While here, Norman and Gladys presented them with another granddaughter, Barbara. From his pastorate at Hoskins Avenue Baptist Church, my parents retired. They bought a small farm adjoining the old home place where my father was raised and not too far from where my mother was raised. After retirement, my father was still very active in supply work and also served as interim pastor at times. At his retirement, he had served 29 Baptist Churches and one Baptist Institution. He had been an active pastor for 42 years. The address at retirement was Route 1, Peachland, NC. While here, another granddaughter was born as Norman and Gladys had their third daughter, Gladys Gaye (Gigi). I need to add that all during his ministry my mother was a dedicated helper in every way. She, too, did lots of church work as well as manage her work as mother and wife. She was the first to leave the family. On November 26, 1964, Thanksgiving Day, the day after their 50th wedding anniversary, my mother died with cancer. After my mother's death, my father lived about two and one-half years. He died as the result of a stroke on May 24, 1967. He had been active almost to the very end. At the time of his death, he has been an ordained Baptist Minister for just over 50 years. After my father's death, I married Earl James Edwards on August 3, 1973. Broadus married Alma Wilson on August 29, 1982. My husband died on January 15, 1985. My three brothers are also deceased. Broadus died on August 13, 1986, Craven on August 29, 1994, and Norman on August 28, 1996. The family has moved on with their lives. Craven's son Neil and wife Janet have a daughter, Caitlin and a son, David. Craven's daughter Patricia and her husband, Robert Hunter, have a daughter, Retta and a son, Mac. Norman's daughter Barbara and husband Phil Huff, have a son Philip. Norman's son Don and wife Lisa have a son Joshua. Norman's youngest daughter is married to Mike Hines. Norman's daughter Catherine is a librarian. Norman's son, David Bryant, married Lisa Guthrie. They have a son, Joshua Rowe, born in 1998, and a daughter, Laura Louise, born in 2000. I stay in touch with my three sisters-in-law, Fletcher, Gladys, and Alma. I try to serve as an interested and dedicated aunt and great-aunt. In return all are a blessing to me.

25	1. Absalom A. Caudle served as a Private … wounded in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. __________________________________________________________________	CAUDLE, Absalom A. (I11674)
26	1. Absalom was born in Halifax Co., VA in 1757. He joined the Revolutionary Army of North Carolina, 10th regiment in November, 1775 at Cross Creek, now Fayetteville, and was discharged in December 1776. He later became a substitute for John Elwell of Bladen Co., NC, served 3 months and was discharged in July 1780. He then re-enlisted and served the remainder of the war. He applied for and received a pension at age 75. His record in the National Archives was erroneously filed as Absalom Candell. Absalom moved to Anson Co., NC from Bladen Co. shortly after the war ended. He had received a land grant there on Lanes Creek (now called Caudle Branch). Before his death he had amassed substantial land holdings there. The property is located between Peachland and Polkton, NC, about 2 miles north. It abuts Highway 218 on the west side of Lanes Creek. Three Caudle families continue to live on the property. They are probably descendants of his son, Richard. The old home place remains. The original was destroyed by fire in the early 1900's, but was rebuilt. The original chimney is a part of the house. It isn't lived in, but is used by the Anson Co. Caudles for special events, including Christmas. Absalom married Elizabeth Maness, the daughter of a neighbor, in 1787. They had 9 children. Elizabeth became mentally deranged some time around 1815. She continued to live with and be cared for by Absalom. However, he did take in another woman, name unknown, by whom he had 3 daughters. They were probably not married even though the children bore his name and there was a 2nd family Bible. Elizabeth outlived Absalom and received his pension. I have no facts on the 2nd woman. Most of Absalom's children remained in the area. Only Absalom, Jr. and Elizabeth seemed to have moved. His oldest daughter, Elender, never married ------Absalom's Application for Pension as a Revolutionary War Soldier-- Caudel, Absalom W 10,589 or Caudle State of North Carolina, Anson Co., October 1832 On this 11th day of October, 1832 personally appears in open court before the worshipful Justice of the Peace, now sitting Absalom Caudle, a resident of the county and state aforesaid was for 3 years a Soldier of the Revolution who does make the following declarations in order to obtain the benefit.

Roan's Company under the command of Col. Thomas Clark's 10th Regt. of the North Carolina Line. He was marched to Wilmington, N.C. and from there to Charleston, S.C. where he was stationed for some time. He was then marched to Savannah, Ga. thence in pursuit of Indians. He subsequently joined General McIntosh of Georgia and was in discharged in December of 1780. He then became a substitute for JOHN ELWELL in the Bladen County Militia under General Caswell for three months. While serving on the Santee River, they received news of Charleston's surrender. He was then marched to Camden, S.C. and back to Cumberland, N.C., where he was discharged. He then entered in the light horse company under Captain Willis, and served to the end of the war. At the time of his first enlistment and for five years after the Revolution he lived in Bladen County, N. C. He then moved to Anson where he lived in 1832 when he applied for pension at the age of 73. He died in 1845. ELIZABETH CAUDLE, widow of ABSOLOM CAUDLE, appeared to apply for pension in Jan. 1847, at which time JESSE CAUDLE, then 56, appeared as guardian. He supplied a page from the Family Bible which supplies the following information. ABSOLOM CAUDLE (Born 7 Oct. 1757 - died 7 March 1845) ELIZABETH MANESS (Born 7 May 1768) Marriage of couple: 22 March 1782 Twelve Children: 1) Elendar Caudle, daughter, (Born 9 Jun 1788) 2) Jesse Caudle, son, (Born 5 Oct. 1791) 3) Rebecca Caudle, daughter, (Born 3 March 1794) 4) William Caudle, son, (Born 1 Apr 1796) 5) Richard Caudle, son, (Born 1 March 1798) 6) Absolom Caudle, son, (Born 15 Sep 1800) 7) Sampson Caudle, son, (Born 19 Oct. 1803) 8) Jeffin Caudle, son, (Born 20 Oct. 1808) 9) Elizabeth Caudle, daughter, (Born 29 Sep 1810) Bible No. 589 10) Minnia Caudel, daughter, (Born 3 March 1818) 11) Margaret Caudel, daughter, (Born 16 Sep 1820) 12) Nanna, daughter, (Born 16 Sep 1822) File at: http://files.usgwarchives.org/nc/anson/military/revwar/pensions/caudle6mt.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/ncfiles/ File size: 2.6 Kb	CAUDLE, Absalom Sr. (I415)
27	1. Absolom Caudle sold his farm in Anson Co. in Dec. 1830 and left Anson Co. for Tennessee sometime between 1830 and 1833. He and his family lived for a short time in Coffee Co. Tennessee. The 1840 census shows Absolom Caudle and family in Henderson Co. Tennessee, it also shows him as having 11 children at that time - 5 boys and 6 girls. Jesse Caudle remembers Martha as stating that the family moved to Decatur when she was 3 years old. (abt. 1841) Absoloms Children sold his land in 1853. It is noted by Dr. TC Moss in the Caudle Family History that when Decatur Co. was formed in 1845 the Henderson Co. line was moved 3 miles west of its former location and this put Scotts Hill (apparently home of Absolom Caudle) partly in Decatur Co. instead of Henderson Co. After the deaths of Absalom and Mary the older married children took in most of the younger children to rear. However, Malakiah (Mack), then 14 years old, went to live with James Plunkett, who was 70 years old in 1850. Also living with James Plunket was Martha Plunket, aged 35: Ebenezer Lee and his wife Sarah, aged 28 and 25, took in Jesse and Tenessee Caudle, aged 7 and 5 in 1850. (The ninth chile, GIRL CAUDLE b. Abt 1837 appears in the 1840 Decatur Co. census however there is no other reference to her found at this time. It is possible that either this is a reference to Martha A. Caudle that was a double entry, or that possibly she was a twin to Martha A. Caudle that did not survive past infancy/childhood.) http://www.ronulrich.com/rfuged/nti15060.htm _______________________________________________________ 2. While living in Anson County, Absalom and Mary had 5 children. They decided to take advantage of the land grants available in West Tennessee. Hezekiah Haney, Mary’s father, decided to do the same. Absalom and Mary sold their farm to Elias Preslar in December 1830 (Anson County Deed Book X, Page 486). Hezekiah retained title to his property. Absalom, Sr. and his sons farmed the land until it was sold to Richard Caudle in 1839. Absalom, Jr. and Mary left for Tennessee in January 1831. They had an additional 8 children in Tennessee before Absalom, Jr. was accidentally killed at age 45 when kicked by a horse. Mary died a year later. Some of their children were taken in by the eldest son, Andrew, and the others were bound out. Source: Dr. William R. Caudle’s Family Tree	CAUDLE, Absalom Jr. (I417)
28	1. According to Mr. Ray Parker, James Smith and Elizabeth Hutchens lived perhaps two miles southeast of Boonville and the intersection of Hwy. 67 and Hwy. 601. According to Mr. Parker, they owned land on or near what is now known as Reese Road. The deed description below references Deep Creek which intersects Hwy. 601 just south of this location. Elizabeth Hutchens grew up near what is now known as Forbush on Forbush Road, about five miles east of the location afore described. _______________________________________________________ 2. 1880 Census, Wilkes County NC, Traphill District, ED205, p.4. James Smith and Levica Smith Caudill both report their father being born in Delaware during this enumeration. _______________________________________________________ 3. The following is from Out on a Limb, Babara Johns Groeger, pp. 23~25. "He spent his early years in England, but while still very young, his parents died and an older brother inherited all of his parents' possessions according to English law. Apparently with his parents dead and his brother holding their little possessions, James had no ties left with England and so he emigrated to America. Tradition goes that he landed in Delaware and lived there a short time. Then around 1790~1794, he arrived in Surry (now Yadkin) Co., North Carolina where he met a girl by the name of Elizabeth Hutchins, who was a Quaker by birth. In 1795, James and Elizabeth were married, against the wishes of the Quaker Church since James was a member of the Methodist Church (perhaps having been baptized by Bishop Asbury as tradition states). And so on March 6, 1797, Elizabeth was disowned from the Quaker Church for marrying out of unity (which means she married someone who was not a member of the Quaker Church) and lived the rest of her days as a Methodist. Apparently even though the church disowned Elizabeth, her family still accepted James as her husband, because in 1799 Elizabeth's father, Thomas Hutchins, sold James some land. The receipt was written as follows: "October the 21, 1799 I rec'd. of James Smith the Sum of Seventy Dollars in part pay for the Land that I sold him lying on Deep Creek. I Say Rec'd. By Me Thomas Hutchins." A record of land being purchased in 1799 in Surry Co. from Thomas Hutchins is recorded in the Surry Deed Book with 40 acres in the first tract and 119 acres in the second tract. However, on 23 September 1802 James Smith sold 119 acres to William Johnson for 175 pounds. James bought a third tract in Surry on November 14 1805 for 150 pounds and which consisted of 100 acres on the north fork of Deep Creek. Sometime between these transactions and 1812, James sold the 40 acres which he had purchased from Thomas Hutchins in 1800, but there is no record and apparently the buyer failed to have the deed recorded. On 27 November 1812, James apparently sold out his 100 acres in Surry Co. for two hundred dollars and moved over into adjoining Wilkes Co. where he bought 200 acres for $400 at the head of the Big Elkin on 20 January 1814. James Smith lived on this 200 acres from 1814 until his death in 1849. James Smith and his wife Elizabeth Hutchins had ten children born to them: Robert15 June 1796 unknown Nancy23 Dec. 1798 married James McCann Hannah28 Dec. 1799 Lewis Harris John 24 Aug. 1802 yes Patty24 Nov. 1804 Mr. Dunn Levisa4 Dec. 1807 John Caudill James Anderson7 Mar. 1810 Mary M. Smith Zadoch Thomas27 July 1812 Candace Snow William I.30 June 1814 unknown Elizabeth Hutchins4 April 1818 Jerimiah Richardson These children grew up and went their different ways in life during the pioneer days of our great country. Robert Smith, the oldest son, left North Carolina and the folks never knew where he went, but some thought he might have gone to Alabama. Nancy, Hannah and Levisa all lived and died in North Carolina. there are still numerous descendants in North Carolina of the Harris, McCann and the Caudill families. Patty and Mr. Dunn married and left for parts unknown and there's no further record of them. James Anderson Smith lived and died in North Carolina and eventually owned the land of his father. Zadoch Thomas and his sister Elizabeth (Smith) Richardson eventually ended up in Missouri with their families. Zadoch had lived in North Carolina until 1860 before moving and Elizabeth had lived for 21 years in Indiana before moving. John and William left North Carolina. John lived in Virginia for a time and 'went west', but the direction that William went is unknown. James Smith, of course, remained on his land in Wilkes Co. and watched his children grow, marry and move away. He was a carpenter, cabinet maker and farmer by trade. (it is said he brought his carpenter tools with him from England). He worked hard and lived the life of a true pioneer. On the 25th of August 1841, his wife Elizabeth, died at the age of 65 and since he was 75 years old and had been rather sick recently, he sat down a few days later a wrote his will. At the time he wrote it, all of his children were either married or had moved away except for the youngest daughter, Elizabeth Hutchins Smith, who was at the time 23 years old and unmarried. Here is a copy of the will he wrote: "In the name of God, Amen. I, James Smith, of Wilkes Co. in the state of North Carolina being at the present time sound in mind although very weak in body do declare this to be my last will and testament. I hereby bequeath and devise to my beloved daughter Elizabeth Hutchins Smith all my household & kitchen furniture, also all the stock I possess of all kinds with my shop tools of all descriptions and my family utensils for her own separate use and maintenance. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 29th day of August 1841. His X mark James Smith In presence of ... David Hanks Charles Harris Wilkes Co., North Carolina Was duly proven February term 1842" It is important to note that in those early colonial days, if a woman was not specifically in a will, then she had no claim (or very little) on any property or possessions regardless of her relationship to the deceased. So, James made a point to write a will that would insure a future for his daughter since she was still unmarried. He left her all his earthly possessions except his land (which is not mentioned in his will, but which James deeded to his son, James Anderson Smith in 1847). James wrote his will in August 1841, but lived for seven more years. However just a few months after he wrote his will, Elizabeth, apparently in order to secure for her own possession the things her father had willed her, simply went into Wilkes Co. court and asked that the will be probated. Naturally the court officials took it for granted that James Smith was dead and so went ahead and probated the will. This is an unusual case, but it could, and evidently did happen because his will was actually probated in 1842, but he was still alive in 1847 when he deeded his land to his son. Two years after the will was probated, and interesting event occurred. Elizabeth had met a man named Jerimiah Richardson who she wanted to marry but the family disapproved. So she eloped and the family followed her a considerable distance in order to have the marriage set aside, but Elizabeth and Jerry went all the way to Indiana (a very long distance in those days). James lived until 1849 when he passed away at the age of 83 years and 3 months. The old James Smith homeplace is now owned by the Chatham family and lies 1/4 to 1/2 mile west of Doughton, North Carolina. The family cemetery is enclosed with an iron fence. Just five persons are buried there and their graves are marked with field stones. The five are James Smith, his wife Elizabeth (Hutchins) Smith, their son, James Anderson Smith and his first wife, Mary, and also Jones Smith (son of James Anderson Smith) ___________________________________________________________________- 4.
