I am looking for descendants of the Smiths of Stone Edge and Pighole who
would be interested in participating in yDNA testing. They would have to be
descended, patrilineally, from a Smith of that group. I am willing to pay
for the test via FamilyTreeDNA.com. Please let me know if you are aware of
any Smiths who are related to:
Christopher Smith m. Elizabeth Townley Halstead
(He is also referred to as \"Christopher Smith of Edge\" and \"Christopher
Smith of Stannihurst\" in some records) Christopher had 5 sons, three of
which moved to Virginia. Only two are documented to have had children. I
believe the two other sons stayed in Burnley. Christopher paid part of a fee
for verification of the owners of the copyholds to the lands in Burnley.
James Smith of Edge
Stephen Smith, copyholder of lands that were a part of The Honoure of
Clitherowe in the 19th century.
I wish to test to verify whether or not my research is correct.
Thank you,
Chris Smith
