Throwing this query out to the Internet, hoping a search engine hit will bring someone who knows this family.

I am searching for the parents of CALEB HARRIS SMITH, born about 1824, either in Tennessee or North Carolina. He died in 1915, Smith Co., Texas, after an illustrious career as a minister in North Texas.

Caleb married ELIZABETH WATKINS in 1849.

Caleb also served in the CSA during the Civil War. I have records on him serving as a 2nd Lt, Company E, Clark's Regiment of the Texas Infantry during 1862.

Children are unknown except for my ancestor, ALTONIA SMITH, who married JOHN WESLEY STEELE.
