Revolutionary War Records of John Smith

also known as John Smith Baisden

Donated by Teresa Newsome Blankenship

After finding the Revolutionary War record of John Smith which contained information that he is one and the same person as John Smith Baisden, a further search for records for "John Smith" revealed several rejected claims in the Library of Virginia records collection; one of which was a match to the Revolutionary War record of John Smith a.k.a. Baisden.
