      !NOTES:Due to him being listed "out of order" in 1850 with William (Sr), it's possible he's a grandson of the elder William and not a son. William (Sr) did name a grandson William B. Smith in his 1866 will, and as this William had been with him since at least 1850, it stands to reason William c1843 is William B. Further, there is an older William B. Smith who is likely the son of William (Sr) and the uncle and namesake to this William B. Smith;

      !NOTES:Seems to be dead before 1873 for his grandmother Henrietta was taxed for all 250 acres of the land William B. Smith Sr mentioned in his Will, half of which went to grandson William B. Smith. If William Jr died, it would have reverted to Henrietta, and that seems to be what happened lacking a deed showing him selling it back to her.;
