On the 1860 Caroline County census, family #1229/1229 is William Procto r. Family #1230/1230 is John Smith, age 32, and Wineford Smith, age 5 6. He is a farmer; real estate value is $200, personal value is $75. Fam ily #1231/1231 is Stark Purks. Family #1232/1232 is William Mills, whe re Isabella Mills is 21 and residing. I am pretty sure this is OUR John S mith, and Wineford from the 1860 census is the same as Wilford from the 18 80 census.

I found the area on the 1900 Census where the Mills, Purks, and Proctors w ere but there is no sign of anyone from the Smith family.
Went through all of the Port Royal district but no one from this family w as found.

According to the Caroline County birth records, (1859 - 1868, except 1863 ), John and Isabella had a son in June 1867 that was unnamed.
