| **The "Smith" middle name** |
| ---- |
| Some have wondered about the origin of Anderson Smith Randal's middle name of "Smith". |
| |
| He was likely named in honor of his Uncle, Anderson Smith Wilkins. |
| |
| This was also an attempt to perpetuate the "Smith" middle name... which (interestingly) stemmed from the Marrow family. |
| |
| Anderson Smith Randal's mother was Susanna(h) “Sukey” W. Wilkins. Her father was named Charles __Smith__ Wilkins. |
| |
| Charles __Smith__ Wilkins mother was named Arabella __Smith__ Marrow. |
| |
| Arabella __Smith__ Marrow's mother was named Arabella Gromarrin. She had married Luke __Smith__. After Luke __Smith__ died, she married Daniel Marrow. |
| |
| So, ultimately, Anderson Smith Randal's middle name was in remembrance of his Great, Great grandfather, Luke __Smith__. |
