Annie (Barden) & Robert Smith, Jr.
Annie Overton Barden and Robert Benjamin Smith, Jr. circa 1880 to 1885. Annie Overton Barden is a direct descendant of US General Thomas Overton (1753 to 1824) who was a Captain in the Continental Dragoons in the Revolutionary War and a General in the War of 1812. General Overton was also close friends with Andrew Jackson and was his "second" in the famous duel between Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickenson. It is important to note that General Thomas Overton is a direct descendant of Major General Robert Overton (1609 to 1679) who at first helped Oliver Cromwell depose the King of England, but then seeing what Cromwell was doing, he began to oppose Cromwell, resulting in years of imprisonment for Robert Overton.

Gary Gray
Gary Eugene Gray was born in northwest Louisiana to parents Ronald Eugene Gray and Melba Dean Tubbs Gray in northwest Louisiana. He has a keen interest in genealogy for the sake of preserving his family history not only for the present day family members, but future generations as well. You can find him on WikiTree, a free and open community of genealogy enthusiasts and also for all to enjoy free of charge. Gary is a graduate of the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin and he is also a licensed Certified Public Accountant in the State of Texas. Gary is married to Paula and they have one son, Connor. Together, they have a happy life. Gary's interests are his family and volunteering at his son's sporting events, science, history, politics, economics, business, sailing, flying, baroque classical music as well as ancient music, writing, genealogy, roller coasters, jet ski's, and just about anything that is fast and thrilling. During the early 1980's, Gary enjoyed skydiving, having made 217 jumps, with most of those being long duration free-fall.
I found that I am related to several famous people including famous singers, business people as well as state and national politicians. Additionally, I am related to famous people of the past including famous scientists and a famous fighter at the battle of the Alamo. The link to famous people runs through my paternal as well as maternal lines. Very exciting.
