Hi Marsha, hope you got my "note", if not am trying again.  I would love to have the information you have on Sarah Jennings Smith.  Be glad to pay for the costs involved in this,

Thanks !!

    Pat,
    So glad that this is being done!!! My Gr. gr. grandparents, John & Rebecca 
    Smith Barger and her parents, James and Sarah Jennings Smith of course were 
    in Silverton, Oregon, and I have wanted to "see" where their land was ! 
    Have picture with "Barger" Street. Again, looking forward to seeing this 
    when in the Silverton area !
