Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Robert Smalling was born about 1779.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Occupation: Farmer
    • Research Notes: 1850 census lists birthplace as Virginia. 1860 census lists birthplace as Tennessee, but the state did not yet exist at the time of his birth. Modern Sullivan County would have been in North Carolina in 1779. Age given as 17 in 1850 census (but in a household with children as old as 32). This appears to be a transposition of his true age, 71.

    Robert married Nancy Agnes Oliver on 14 Apr 1815 in Carter County, Tennessee, USA. Nancy was born about 1795 in Southwest Territory, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Nancy Agnes Oliver was born about 1795 in Southwest Territory, USA.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Research Notes: Age given as 53 in 1850 census, 60 in 1860 census, but 76 in 1870 census, putting her birth in about 1796, 1800 or 1793, respectively. Nancy is listed in the household of Abraham Smalling in the 1860 and 1870 censuses. Relationships were not shown in these years, but it seems likely she was Abraham’s mother, so I have listed her as such. Her birthplace is listed as North Carolina in 1850 and 1860 and Tennessee in 1870. It seems likely that she was born in the area currently occupied by Tennessee, which was the Southwest Territory at the time of her birth.
