Judith Clay:
Judith Smart married William Clay around January 15, 1824 in Halifax Co, VA. (copy of Marriage Record). William and Judith had one son; Thomas Jefferson Clay. Judith probably died after 1840 and before 1860. William Clay, his wife and one male 10-15 years old are living in Monroe Co, Indiana at the taking of the 1840 census. In 1860 he appeared to be living in the house hold of Thomas Clay and wife Angeline. At this time William was 67 years old born in VA and listed as a Widower. He last appeared in the 1870 census as 80 years old born in Virgina and Widower. He was still in the house hold of Thomas J. Clay and Angeline. William was probably the brother of Thomas Clay Jr who married Judith's sister Susannah/Susan.

Elizabeth Smart- Information Unknown
Mary Smart: Because Mary was often interchangable with "Polly" I believe this is Polly Smart who is buried in the Methodist-Episcopal Cemetery in Richland Township, Ellettsville, Monroe Co, IN. Her headstone reads "Polly Smart daugh of Wm & E Smart. The stone is damaged and her date of death may be in the ground. Her death probably occured sometime between 1860 and 1870. In 1860 US Census, Monroe Co, Indiana, Polly Smart was living with a Hubbard Sharp and probably his wife Mary. Polly was shown as 72 years of age born in Virginia. No relationship was given and is still unknown.
The names: Thomas Dowdy/Donly, Moses Smart, and Elisha East also appears on Elizabeth's last will and testament
