Notes: James Madison Smith was not named in the 1890 will of his grandfather Thomas Threatt. He may have died in his youth.

James Madison Smith did not appear in his family's listing in 1870 US Census of Union Co., NC. If born on 16 Feb 1870 (per some data online), he should have been enumerated with the family on 19 Sep 1870, and would have been shown as approx. age 7 months. Perhaps his birth date was in 1871, because the 16 Feb 1870 date lies within 9 months of elder sister Mary Cora Smith. This is supported further by the 1880 Census of Union Co., NC, in which he appears age 9 with his family.
