  • Introduction

    Jane married James 'Washington' Smith about 1846 in Wayne Co., WV. When the Civil War broke out, James W. enlisted Dec. 11, 1861, as a bugler in Company K of the 8th Virginia Cavalry, Confederacy. The couple had 10 children when James W. went off to war. On the 23rd of January, 1864, James W. passed away from an injury he received during the Battle of Jonesville, Lee County, VA. James was shot in the knee, and died from gangrene. Jane remarried on November 3, 1870 to John Everald Ferguson- who happened to be her daughter's (Kate Smith Ferguson) father-in-law. The couple removed to Ky and Jane spent the next 22 years living with John Everald in Cherokee, close to her daughter Kate and family. It is said that 5 of the Smith children (and their widowed mother) moved across the Tug River to Lawrence Co., KY because of the emotional trauma of the Civil War with the family torn between the Confederacy and the Union.
